he would work
until it killed him
distant he surrendered the emotional fields
full of land mines
you cannot tell him to stop
he has no stop

got stuck in a loop again searching
for the best self before we went extinct
could not find it on the phone
could not find it
in a pill…
found the best self
just going to work with you
and doing what we
do
#katyamills
keep working and you can work your way into and out of the conundrum we call life
#katyamills
they awoke battered by terrors
a humming heartbeat of a creature
by one eye vigilant of anything
moves speaks
coffee before work
let the emotions run through the grinds
summoning any god to
get them through
#katyamills
the fashionable way to work was collectively
and remotely. with minimal identity markers
you take to those who can help solve a problem
if this can be achieved without speaking
even better #katyamills
frazzled cutting wires
bending over and under endless machinery
greasy pipes growling
cobwebbed and cornered they
never started finishing school
blackened by chimneys
smoking snipes
thats how god wanted itÂ
and it was good
#katyamills
slowed heartbeats
inhaling the rain
on break
stirring grounds
in the kettle
pushing the embers
cutting earth out of the sole
with a blade
cherishing a smoke
with a friend
#katyamills
winter highways a mess
kids with sleepers in their eyes
pleading – don’t go!
fuck all the long commutes
forgot how to end
ice cream sundays! they exclaim
throwing they boots off
factory gonna have to live
down one
today
#katyamills
run on 4 hours sleep
ice cream for breakfast wash
it down with house coffee they
dont paint a great face they wont
talk too much smack they aint
buttoned up in the finest fabrics
they just work hard a long day
ahead and they mean it
sincerely #katyamills
i wanna make
more memories
can only pick up
the ones we had
dearest Ofa
after breaking down
i get up. you would want me
to be strong
and
do the good
work
