isaac

i will laugh out loud into the universe 

pray on my knees to My God

lay my words upon His feet 

ask him to make a diamond out of me 

there’s nothing left for anyone 

that carried or held or loved

so much investment of my heart 

and here it lays full of dust 

amnesia

 3 am
and it’s 3rd day
ground zero 
it’s all erased 

wanting everything

silly little girl 

wanted everything 

and she cried at night 

and the hours between 

and cared only if she was seen
