Ritual for Rehealing

Dress up for no reason.

Trace your eyes with liner.

Talk to your therapist about your fear of thriving.

Roll a perfect sphere of Play-Doh out during your session.
Roll away your own fingerprints with your palms flat.
Roll sticky into a dull concentric shine.

Afterwards, drive through the rain.

Listen to public radio mouth the words: Total Destruction.

Make it home, alive.
