Smashed to red pulp
Like a dropped tomato
Like a Pollock nosebleed
Like the ketchup packet my brother stomped
That time in the mall before he got kicked out;
Smashed and then scraped into a small pile and
Dried and then
Tucked sadly and carefully away
Like the rose from Nan's funeral or the
Corsage my first boyfriend gave me at the prom.
As long as you don't think about things
They don't hurt
Right?
