ballad of a big nothing.

it's lonelier
wherever I turn up-
through pot holes;
on beer-stained sheets

like how my sacrificial blood
no god would ever bend to take
plasters like a monument
on brick streets.

Too similar,
too uneven,
for anyone to notice.

    The title is great for this piece. It feels hopeless. By the end you sound uncaring but sad about it at the same time ... which is just insane I think. Loneliness is shitty, for sure.

    Wow, it's you!

    congrats.

    lonely, hanging there like the jar. I liked how obscure this was, with the idea of a jarred life hanging on, my own trying to see what was in the photo that inspired this.

    whoa
    this has a great appeal to it dear
    def these lines:

    like how my sacrificial blood
    no god would ever bend to take
    plasters like a monument
    on brick streets.

    Too similar,
    too uneven,
    for anyone to notice.
