You Always Were A Dirty Child

Lucy Winrow

Last time I saw you,
It was as if your sighing curls
Were bouncing in slow motion
Suspended in mid-air
Someone pressed pause
Turned your brain into a box
No windows
Someone slapped the blinkers on.

When I found you
Your puckered hairless skin
Was wrinkled with worry, soft with frustration
Oozing the kind of vulnerability that encourages
Abuse, not care
Hugging,
We press thick walls of meat together
Anything’s normal if it goes on for long enough
Isn’t it?
I whisper and squeeze
Concentrate on fixing yourself
Not because it’ll make you a better friend or lover
But because you must.
