because I slept
by Ava Bluwed pour peroxide down your ears
I was always amazed by the yellow fizzle
swooshing onto the tissue
(I wanted more than dirt to come clean)
one night, as you slept,
I poured alcohol down your ear
trying to burn her excess away
in the morning, when you awoke,
you could not hear
as I told you I found a bead
inside my ear
it was shiny as a pearl
perfectly blemished
(it didnt belong to me)
through tears, I showed you
a picture of her
wearing a necklace
missing a bead.

Author's Note: hmm...where is this going??
The doc really did find a bead
in my ear when I was 18.
