3 Poems

Erin Taylor

1
i would like to sink into this couch until i cannot feel my muscles
convulsing & i would stop shaking & only be a pillow
for people to kiss on.

2
you call me sobbing over a man that touched you when you were
twelve & i told you i wish i could have protected you:
i am always too late or not at all.

3
flowers bloomed today, babies were born,
universes were possibly formed
& my taxi driver offered me a cigarette in traffic.
