a spell for Joan

with intention, scrub and expose the parts that tell you normal is only feeling love sometimes or that if love is too good it's going to threaten you until you keep your distance

with intention, scrub and expose the parts that make you want just a part from a lot of whole women who patiently thumb at your tender band at the maximum of just enough

with intention, scrub and expose the parts that connect and let in light so you can sterilize the decay, your negative space inside that eats up your joy so that you can't savor it

with intention, touch and take the residue left and from the points of your ribs and to your fingertips, throw it forward and away
