lay all the edges together :: you don't know where the excess will be
in that nothing at all beside the piles sometimes i swim with you
in that ocean-sized room forced to hold on with our feet we fasten
no more to loyalty because we lived there once and were never at home
if you are honest you know the question and the answer yes we will
find other places and other people to care for us but you need to live
with the question
the concept of letting go in various forms :: i am adding to the smoke
all this emotion broken into if i close my eyes pour this over this
something in the corner of the room shifts and we understand it
to mean ghost i thought you meant someone had nailed you down
to one of your cares again but maybe it is the light outside and i am very
excited by this time of year the devolving bits and pieces the voices
you hear the coming together and falling apart of things the thing is that
we all eventually fall apart but at least i know how i feel about facing
my own weaknesses
the shadows on the ground grow smaller and smaller :: you unapologetically wear
the things on your chest i would have swallowed the entire ocean to get to
the bottom of it but i am silent now and just hover over the things these partial
happenings the little bit of grey between them the window was down and sand blew
into my eyes but i was the electricity i was always the electricity
i think of life after the wound heals :: i am wondering if this takes
away from the power of we as zigzag lines some moment inside
the flutter maybe it is a hair then that separates skyward as excess
baggage i used to catalogue the words in my head like birds like you
thought of the years i think about you all the time as a man who
walked by but if it’s up to me you never did learn how to want
