Startling

A Poem

This you I found in my bed
that’s a picture
but I was talking to it all day
Sometime around lunch
some heavy words walked into the room
and dragged me out
I crawled to the computer
to do some confessing…I think
But the images that startled me
the fuck awake
were anything but concealed
and I don’t want any absolution
Don’t want them to go away
