misery softened you

seeking to become solid

perhaps

it’s much easier to melt into

empty spaces

and i suppose it’s only natural to freeze sometimes

to emulsify or even coagulate

to change conditions every day

as long as the night is cool and still until morning

to catch the dew from yesterday

but strong winds could turn the plain grey and dry

and it would be heavy all the time

this red light keeps following me

or is it just a color that catches your eye

power pulled from the walls

I want to find my dream tonight

and then follow it until the world falls around me

and all that there’s left might be you

being hurt is much bolder and braver

to receive wounds

and intake suffering

rather than a deflection of rage

and kindness is a noble sacrifice

and to tend to your wounds is survival

how if you may ignore them you will die

why do wielded knives tall heights fangs claws tears and poison feel much more comfortable to be surrounded in im sure its a simple answer except that it shouldnt be

learning something difficult is never easy - is what my mom keeps telling me

I still have yet to accept this fully

Will I be satisfied when I die if I don’t?

bath

sediment of you

fills gradually

becoming a pond to stare into

soft water soothes past my finger tips

and light ripples my smile

I wonder about the specks in your eyes

and how long they’ve been there

I can no longer hold your hand and feel your warmth between my fingers

I am just talking about a cigarette

stupid

but there is something i am missing from you

and i think it is my fault i am not receiving it

sand blooms

swallowed sky

suddenly ii’s so fucking cold

who is going to rest their head on me when nabi is gone

when she comes over to keep me warm when i cry

what a terrible curse it is to let something become a part of you

home-free !

old friend Orion

paints my lungs a little black

the brightness of a star right beside me

we don’t ask them to provide warmth

because i am a sailor !

I am happy

they don’t love me anymore

to have had all my friends

and went swimming, clear water in my mouth tasting sweet,, salt water soaring my throat and swelling my tongue

that certain sun on my face that makes me remember

shaking moments of fear because i love you and relief of sacrifice and no consequence

and i can see they have made me love myself

and that’s why it is shiny the surface of the water

even though the ocean is so dark and deep

but how blue is the sea when our time is short

and i can tell your eyes will make me cry

how i forget in front of you

everything

I know I am not ill because I can feel pain !

because i have felt sick before

maybe that is why i look to get hurt

and why it feels so good

but i think it might be good now to accept being completely okay

where the dark of night is safe to sleep

walking alone but knowing i am not

feeling a swell of tears for immense happiness

I’ll stay within the ripples

until the river floods back

inhale through my ears

bits of tobacco numb my tongue

filled buckets of river

Because the dampness and the trembling and sharp edges were not beautiful

I feel there is wind inside your head

It is dark and incomprehensible 

You smelled like river

This was after I let go of the dragonfly caught in a wooden box

and now there is a new scent and this one is easier to read

I singed my hair

from their roots

but we were under insulating snow cover

and it is warmer because of it

and I like when it rains because you don’t have to put out your cigarettes before flicking them off the fire escape

I caught a cold biking in the rain

Oh

I have learned that kindness makes me freeze

im sorry feels like a four hour long tower held up by a string

i guess this is why it takes me some time to thaw

Lots of clay to mold

Very plastic

Dream about folding a heavy blanket

I don't think my vocabulary knows how to express 

But unfortunately I don't think that's the reason I don't feel ready

You can't fold something so thick and have it sit neatly

it pushes back no matter how long you sit on it 

If you went I would maybe go

are just some words I feel in my sleep

lostless + in love w cliché

I completely understand

it is easier to place your soul elsewhere

in such a dream a flight away

and an alternate reality

so to not wake up in this one again

where the light seems always yellow and soft

and a voice soaked in something sweet like honey

so now it is extremely dark here and it is impossible to listen to anything but music

which makes you want to cry sometimes

and you wonder why you feel so lost

how lucky was I to meet you again six years later

to learn I am just really good at dreaming

happy, unfortunately

I feel ill prepared

glowing ash was shaped more like a wall

clouds below are black moving faster gliding under the above grey

my fingertips touch each other without recognition

silky however resilient

uncareful and less calculated

pulling a sliver of the moon

mom said “Moon jar proportion maybe safer”

I will throw a moonjar next !
