Dootsie

The Dootsie has spoken.

Nothing New

There’s nothing new in

consonants and cut-off sounds

hanging limply on night winds,

eyelids drawn shut against

decisions not yet named.

There is nothing unusual in

shivering skin touching

underneath blankets in winter,

protected against unforgiving snow,

nor in naked bodies prone

seven inches apart

never really reaching

the one thing they need.

Hi, I’m Dootsie. No, that’s not my real name, but it is the name that basically everyone in my life calls me. I am a 30 year-old editor/digital content trafficker/graphic designer living in Central Kentucky. When I’m not working on a magazine, I’m staring at a cat and pretending to be interesting. I’m incredibly officious and jam-packed with trivia.
