meats no treat

thanks for falling apart

thank you for taking time to tremble
accepting the chaos crumble pie
life sliced you

thanks for driving still
when the wheel snapped off
you thought you could adjust the control

maybe the temperature
it’s heating up
and you can try stay cool

but we have no control

thanks for letting the pieces fall
where they may
I never liked jigsaws
but our final print is worth hanging somewhere
as a reminder

to

thank you for falling apart
and breaking down
and giving in

.........not up

for sharing your frown
and offering up your heart
with its meats no treat sticker

to keep the cannibals at bay
when you’re vulnerable
and you risk hungry hopes
gnawing your own away
