untitled: I haven't always been happy

by Natalie Jones

I haven't always been happy. I have been with happiness
and without happiness but it leaves like so many lovers
colliding head on with night. In bed with the shivers, my body tight
and loose I am all these contradictions of self and suffering.
I try and focus. I want to see the thousand parts at once,
the anatomy of the thing, the pieces of a poem all spinal chords,
its taste buds delicious meaning woven with love.
