Market List

Heartbroken grocery blues

Ben and Jerry's cheesecake brownie ice cream,

my favorite bottle of cheap, off-brand wine,

a dozen eggs

cracking in unison

in the backseat of my car.

Speed bumps.

I haven't brushed my teeth in days.

The tangles in my hair,

Medusa.

The crevices of my thoughts are like the raw yellow

yolks of the broken,

spilling between my fingers,

losing grip on the steering wheel.

Car,

cracked egg shells,

broken blood and all.

In the current

of a river.
