“In the beginning you held me all night long
rarely does this happen anymore
And I know this is just one of the minor deaths
for which I, as an adult,
am expected to settle
like I do with the mice
squealing at night
from the glue traps under the radiator.
I'm supposed to close my eyes,
repeat the mantra
That's life...
But I lie awake
next to you
and I imagine them
chewing off their little feet''
