summer suicide

AUTHOR: May

EDITOR: Shu

TRIGGER WARNING: MENTION OF SUICIDE AND DEPRESSION

seasonal depression takes place in the winter, but

this taunting sunlight makes me want to die

like / the pear cell that croons from neath a

microscope slide / its walls shaped into my

most intimate swells and womanly bits /

the cavity of the birch reminds me of my

clit / oh, how this summer heat makes me

want to scrub myself raw, scrub myself raw

and die.
