february / march 2024 poem for aaron bushnell

February 27, 2024 in poetry

I don’t need a gun
I need the dark thick pit
curling around my stomach
to bloom into sweet lilies

I don’t need a gun
I need the stitches you’ve sewn
across your eyes to melt
under the heat of children’s blood

I don’t need a gun
I need the weeping
the wet hollowed wailing
to stop
