Middle Roadkill

Middle Roadkill

 

the middle

is the twist

in my sobriety

 

the center

is the dagger

in my diaphragm

 

the fence

sits between the dog

and the fire hydrant

 

And the yellow

splashing your face

is not acid rain

 

is not lemonade

it’s the sum of

your sorry existence
