admit so much

'The Trouble with Openings'

is they unclose you, your body
become an invitation to pillage.
You let a man burgle your organs
then feed him before he flees
out the window, down the fire escape.
You say, Come back anytime, I'll be in.
I've been deflead, my shots are up to date.
Then he's gone and you're left
with only all your wide-open empties
which spread, and burrow through your walls,
and admit so much.

[Courtney Queeney {1978- } from Filibuster to Delay a Kiss]
