In the creamy morning light,
fat snow lounges on the mountaintop.
My new day has no confidence.
My shoes wait by the door,
made of bone china
And stained with my used blood.
Secondhand fire bounces
off the receding moon.
Numbers await me,
my house and my mind
Filled with them.
Math cuts me.
The subtraction demanded
of me is too much.
I shove my feet in my shoes.
Outside the morning is frosting
on my world.
I have nothing but
the robbery of my body.
