The vanity bulb is starting to blink

The vanity bulb is starting to blink,

I’m leaning my weight on the edge of the sink.

I lift up the muscle to check for a sting,

looking for a sore or a red, angry thing.


Beneath the soft pink, the veins are a map,

blue branches caught in a cellular trap.

The secret is heavy, a stone in the throat,

trying its best to capsize the boat.
