Forget

funny sometimes
but I'm not laughing
more like bizarre
how such a big girl
all grown up
with hips and thighs
too much belly
can feel so tiny
inconsequential
like tears in the rain
plastic spork in battle
Romanian bani
compared to dollars
an undertow
versus tsunamis
some days
I could curl up
fold in on myself
as small as I feel
become a ghost
of a woman
maybe forget
how much it hurts
love unrequited
feeling lost at sea
riding the waves
following tides
moon my mother
the sea my lover
I could forget
