A meth-ghost she was
at least I thought it was
'she' but truly
it skills not
to gender the meth-ghost
as insubstantial as a bag of bones can be
a carp-like mouth
skull in jagged detail
hollowed out eyes
almost too
fucked-up to see
but human I suppose
and I suppose American
though there is nothing to be found,
nor shall there be, in terms of relief
no coverage for her methed-up teeth
or any plan
for the physical damage
of which she is somewhere near the center
