in your attic bathroom
by D.C. Porder
our noses drained white parallel lines
across our lipstick. i squatted
in the sink and chewed up the last four blotters
with a cracker and caviar. i clicked open
the orange bottle your mom
hides behind the showerhead
and swallowed 2 weeks of pain relief
with cognac. we hauled your kodak
into the bathtub. you spit and yelled
TRANSEXUALITY!
the pills beat us
into the toilet’s riptide. the acid
shackled me with dental floss.
i dragged myself to the drain. i clung
to your broken pinky. your eyes
fit together like quotation marks
when you said my name.
