Major Depressive Disorder (Recurrent)
by Marissa Ahmadkhani
It’s driving through fog it’s ocean salt
on skin lungs underwater ragged
breath the light when waking the cold
bathroom floor it’s medication stomach turning
a body creaking a hasty goodbye it’s avalanche
swollen eyes sun hitting water splitting lips
red with wine a mouthful of blood dirt
under fingernails stale air warm and thick
the sun in your eyes erosion
the biting cold suffocating sharp teeth
a fast grip everything slipping
between my fingers
