Never Forever
Michelle Greenblatt
this morning just died
for the third time&a blossoming
forever still looms forevering
above my head rearranging
itself, trying to look
pretty.
but forever lost its pizzazz
after it threw the party
I got so drunk
at I vomited
for weeks&couldn’t see anything
but black
holes, occasionally the vortex
of nothing would appear; finally
that’s what made me
sober up—
since then I’ve preferred never
so draw me
a picture of that—I’m still mopping
up vomit, rinsing
my mouth out&praying
forever never
invites me
out again.
