Spit it Out

Spit it Out

we don't walk
on eggshells;
we eat them

our ingested truths
broken inside of us

jagged, unattended;
they fester in folds
buried, ignored

all that negligence
nourishment for
the eventual
rampant, piercing
infection of a being
that refuses
to forget or accept

surfacing more excruciating
than the swallowing
