I woke up and found my bed to be 

on the foggy outskirts of heaven.

When I walked away from the bed,

I was on mile-long stilts.

​I can swallow a whole bird.

One time I swallowed beach glass.

I would’ve put a lion’s head

in my mouth. I would’ve swallowed

the whole ocean

to get to the bottom of it.

Later, I get a card in the mail that says Sorry.

Sorry about everything.

Every year I pretend

I’m not the one who sent it.
