Ode to Mitski

while driving today     to pick up groceries
I drive over     the bridge where it would be
so easy to drive     right off     the water
a blanket to lay over my head     its fevers
I do want to live     most days     but today
I don’t     I could     let go of the wheel
and close my eyes     but Mitski in my speakers
pulls me back to earth     she keeps my hands
on the wheel when I want     and I so often
want to die     Mitski I cannot speak
to you     like you speak to me     a thousand lilies
rise up from the field on the other side
of the bridge     I will fix my eyes to the field
with your help     I will make it across
