AwkwardA Poem by Abigale LeCavalierAwkward It’s the pose that is awkward, pressed against the door jamb every night always makes my back hurt, and my feelings.
The sound a dove makes under water muffled, the ringing in my ears awful, in more ways than one.
And I’ve painted my nails the same blue shade of the evening winter sky, hoping it will bring me luck, or a two dollar bottle of gin.
Sharing the scars on my wrist with the children down the block, and my grandparents buried in the family crypt.
It's all apples too me, as is the slamming of the door. © 2010 Abigale LeCavalierReviews
