WHEN WILL YOU STOP WANTING EVERYTHING
Lauren Badillo Milici
i get what’s in your heart but no one really knows it—
the little house kept like a museum
and Dickinson, a ghost. girl detectives in the foyer.
we carried your grief up the stairs, found a place.
here’s a pinecone here’s a daffodil. here’s the bleeding, again.
the worst part is not what you think.
