Adjustment

[_nympholeptic_]

I keep a copy of my Catholic Bible
and Bukowski's poetry on my bedside table.
I am equally in love with
composers and screamers,
Bach and Saetia.
I collect love and put it on
a chain with the Virgen Mary
Pendent that belonged to my
Mexican Grandmother.
I'm stubbornly hiding my
change in a jewelery
box no one knows I have,
given to me years ago by a father
half out of his mind,
half in love.
