On Forgetting the Bleach (this is a poem)
Every day I drive down Lakeland
And my tires pass over what can only
Be described as a large splatter of blood
No, not a splatter, bigger than a splatter
A Spill of blood
Like from an overturned tanker
A splatter-spill of blood
A deer? I wonder,
For is it not a lot of blood?
Or a human
Or a human who hit a deer
Someone did not survive
Someone is just a stain, a spill splatter stain
It has been there for weeks
And every day I think
I should pour bleach out the window
Let the entirety of lifelessness pass on
How many days would that take?
How many bottles of bleach?
But I forget.
Before the next traffic light, I forget.
It is just red paint on black asphalt
Until tomorrow, when I will wonder
Who has left a piece behind
–Amy
