—CALL ME JEALOUS, CALL ME MAD

 

  

I Married a Skeleton

 

I married a 

skeleton 

because her bones 

seemed to like me 

too much 

hollowed out 

aching and 

singing Billy Joel

Uptown Girl 

in rich falsetto  

as if it was closure or

a cannon calling out

all of my flaws

every bird that 

shot of the trees 

high-fived me

a feather-tipped goodbye

it was kind of them 

and the one best thing 

I did with my life
