To all the men who didn't see me for what I was

Tornadoes never make good shelters –
but he doesn't know that.

So he tries to find
refuge inside of me,
he tries to build a home
out of my bitten bones
with a porch swing
made of whatever
left-over love 
someone forgot to take back.

He wants me to be a safe place
to hide away 
from a troublesome summer,
but I am not made of light, 
and I am not made of beginnings –
everything about me
is a never-ending ending.

Tornadoes never make good shelters –
and he will soon know that.

  1. There is light, you just can't see it by yourself. I saw light, deep inside.
