I can’t write on medication
stretch out on planks
keep them I punch it

A hole through the knot

I’ll make it my shush
the capsules fall just
the air bleeds out

(pick them up)

I can’t write on medication
(two no but my one)
said I can’t have a you 

if you’re never a now

I’ll make it my shush
the capsules fall just
my sun faded

(“You live in half light.”)

But I can’t write! I can’t write!
(and you can’t live
without your we)
