Here’s my opening stanza and the fourth from
I want to forget I’m not enough:
I’m not Jesus
I can’t continue to knock
knock
knock again
when someone doesn’t want to open their door
I’m not enough isn’t quite as bad as it was when I cared
it’s worse when I’m quiet
when I’m shaving away old cheese
when I tap my screw driver on the edge of a sink
watch flecks of rust fall on white porcelain like
dried blood
