jabbed into an open nerve

Janet Kuypers
8/18/14

I am afraid of what I might say
because it may sound like how I feel
like someone has jabbed a metal pin
against the open nerve of the exposed cavity
in my rat-like teeth

what does it feel like		to read a soul
		a soul like mine

I don’t know
but let me brace you:
rehashing this,
revealing this
it just
might
hurt
