The night pillow


My big secret has always been that
I have two tongues in my mouth
Two breasts on my chest
two snakes under my bed

Two is not a number
It’s rolling over my orange pillow
it cries it yells, it laughs like a hyena 

    Gods and devils  made these two worlds 
just for me
I found out that there are more.
veils upon veils, upon veils
I will spend my life here in this room
holding an apple, narrating my multiple lives
leaping in the abyss again and again
