Brave
Inspired by Anne Sexton’s Courage.

Pills,
Pills,
Pills.
A bottomless sea
Of chills and thrills.
But they don’t give you
One for courage.
That’s a body of water you
Have to jump in
All on your own.
No life jacket,
Headfirst,
No comfort
Or refreshment
To quench your thirst.
And if they gave you
A courage pill
That you managed to swallow,
You’d still have to take it
With a glass of blood.
