FINDING BIG BIRD'S SKULL IN AN UNDERGROUND TOMB by miss macross

burn marks from the radiator
baby clothes hanging on the porch
i have never been a mother
cold water over my hand
feels like an eternity, but i’m afraid
of how i’ll feel if i pull away
eventually i have no choice
sesame street band-aids
the catacombs of thought
so winding, maybe nerve signals
will never reach the brain
