Alone with Your Heartbeat Here is the part where it hurts Where you no longer recognize The way your mouth holds words The way your fingers twist nerves Through your unwound hair They said you’d feel better, clearer After the first sobering month Less pickled and bloated But you’re still sour skinned And angrier than ever Alone each night with That same wandering rhythm Unable to quit biting dirty nails Bio: Kimberly Casey is a Massachusetts native with her BFA in Writing, Literature and Publishing from Emerson College in Boston, MA. She now lives in Huntsville, AL where she founded Out Loud HSV, a spoken word and literary arts collective dedicated to creating a welcoming platform for language, writing, and communication to flourish.
