My Emergency Contact

i am being paid to make lists,

take inventory,

dismantle the dream

you kept me up all night building -

your shift drink turned into black eyes,

lost keys,

stitches

and a hospital stay.

on paper, i am tied to you,

your blood mine-

you knew i would

answer and

say yes,

i will always

say yes.
