“I tried making my house prettier
for when I sink again.
I tacked starry lights in the darkest
corners of my room because maybe
they could light up the black
edges of my mind.
I rearranged every bit and piece
of furniture hoping I could
regain control of my thoughts
if they were in different places.
I dusted each surface and underneath
each knick-knack, vacuumed each
square foot four times to make sure
I got it, figuring that the gestures
would exhume my happiness--
maybe my old self--
but my mind hasn’t changed
and even my room is a stranger now.”
