The Body Remembers What the Mouth Won’t Say
“. . .” My mouth tried to say
what had happened to my body
Why hadn't the words
come out of my mouth?
“Hey I need to tell you something”
I said that to my friend
“What is it?”
They replied to me.
“I-I can't remember. . .”
my voice started to shake
“Why can't I remember!”
I yelled
thinking someone. . .
anyone
would know the answer
Months go by. . .
No one can hear me.
Because. . .
I stitched away the mouth
Who couldn't remember
Even if my body could.
