will you meet me in the spaces
between our fingers
become tiny
atom-like
indivisible, but one
(and all the smaller pieces
that don't matter)
trade electrons
become
heavier
elements
----
a hollow note
crawls up
my throat
when you
depart
----
twenty minutes to dawn
(i know this because we've been here before)
in this moment, and this thing of arms and arms entwined, called embrace
this moment on soft notsosoft ground sheets
this look
it's the same
and in this moment
this moment is again
----
and your voices
singing as the past
ricocheting off
ceilings and walls
that do not house me
anymore, i hear you
strum afar
voices lamenting
as one.
your mother
----
when i
those
it's like
but i
that
i can't
what did
can you
know that
wait
----
you are farther away
when i am with you
than when we are
so far apart
----
i do not have a traditional clock
that could tick away the night
in even tones
to focus on
when i'm trying my hardest not to be awake
----
i only have digitalisations left
for metaphors
----
and i know
no matter what colours
what sounds
and what repetitions
available
i will never
be able
to run away
from your name
----
there is a fear
that smells
suspiciously
like hope
----
it's time the future
gave up
----
is it?
or is my mind
just trying
too hard
----
did i believe it was you
in those words
perhaps that wasn't
what mattered
----
the insides
of a flower
feels like
the need
to scream
----
if i was walking
and dropped these bus tickets
by accident
i wonder who would pick them up
(if at all)
i wonder what their shoes look like
how soft their fingers are
i wonder the thoughts they'd be thinking
when they read mine
----
i slipped once
grasped a hand
to stop from falling
easiest way to lose
a few years
----
i wasn't
and you knew it
----
the cold seems alive
when i open my eyes
and forget the warmth
is missing
----
sometimes there's a mask;
sometimes a ball
with whirlwind skirts
and shining black shoes
mist covered eyes
and the most ridiculous of costumes

Literature
formerly known as always
sometimes I sense that
presence
I lack
in the way
way back
sparkling shine and
dulled sense of rejection
intact
but running at the mouth again
and I'm traveling the circle
your thoughts made
(exhausted)
and if ever there was anything
but memories
we lost it
left with
tongue stumbling over steps
numbered footprints
and neverminds
not designed
for unfiltered
heart
and sorry boy
attached
but
you love to dance
eyes locked on loving interests
and I loved
standing in between
pretending
you were interested
signing off,
a footnote explained
(getting good at goodbyes
and not good enough for anything)
Literature
Thoughts from an afterthought
I realize now that it was inevitable
I'd be so easy to forget.
Someone (somewhere) checked a box
marked "permanently absent"
and people, these days,
pay strict attention to detail.
Every piece in its proper place,
every memory specifically erased -
this is the way we solve the puzzle.
Correction: this is the way you solve it,
but, when you're not part of the solution,
then you are the problem.
See, that's where I come in.
I am a magnet.
I am a pane of glass.
I am a diversion.
I come in an easy to unwrap package -
it cleans up nice; no mess, no bother.
All for the low, low cost
of an empty word
or an endearing glance.
Literature
it's only everything
how to apologize
to the air
that I breathe
for the fear of loss
that costs
everything
when this grip
that grasps
forever
is so suffocating
when your ears
have grown tired
of these
sad songs I sing
see, panic
and I have spent
so much time
alone
that fright forms
my features
etched its shape
in my bones
and while
I long to make
my heart your home
all flaws
in design are
completely my own
I'm awkward
I'm anxious
but I'm also
all yours
for the rest
of the years
my dust circles
this earth
and though I know
to you it must
seem quite absurd
I hope to rebuild
on the strength
of these words
said
