JAKE: drugs might help but so will therapy

 

drugs might help but so will therapy

in the thick of a row i tell my beloved 
i would like to kick his head off. 

i imagine my fury as if its mythology. 
allow myself ugly. i thrill in the mud. 

a friend suggests poison. to burn out the anger. 
but the internet says i am right. everything 

breaks at once. the fireplace. the latch 
on the south-facing window. a weight 

i'd assumed i'd always carry. the light 
streams in. i know what i've done.
