[text ID: an exit wound that feels so fucking good // for three years i've had a bullet in my chest. / joan didion wrote do not whine. do not complain. / work harder. spend more time alone. / like any good disciple, i listened. / sometimes the bullet was soft, pink, gooey, barely there. / sometimes it burned blue with heat / & i laid in bed wondering if the work would kill me. / i did not whine when hunger sawed my body in half. / i did not complain when i walked for hours, / trying to get the sound of a sentence right. / i bled politely all over west virginia. // it is april. the work is done. / look, i have plucked the bullet from my body. / look, i ma not alone. look, i am alive. / purple wildflowers blooming everywhere. end ID]
