a comet between fire-works & lightening.

god missed the boy on the public bus.

aim for the head.
don't forget the face takes
inhaling seriously.
i taped you over;
i was caught speeding &
left in a ditch near route 113.
I'm still using red tape;
it's as impersonal as i could get.
plus the holes match
the delicate fracture in your gaze.
cheap panic.
jupitar in a shell.
i never said it was
famous to be this way.
i take it you got my optimistic wrist.
split in two
[like a wishbone]
one for me
& a double shot of
'give me your terrible nothing'

could i just take one second
to watch this showcase;
the miracle of the hour
where you find the sky is a belated
tribute to
our soil ridden hearts
dreaming of something blue green & wet.
not the ocean
not your eyes.

Author notes

    yarg!

    i like this BECAUSE you couldn't stop. it's truly sensational. the first line is like, whoa, must read on, and when i hit:
    "i take it you got my optimistic wrist.
    split in two
    [like a wishbone]
    one for me
    & a double shot of
    'give me your terrible nothing'"

    that was a good one. very cool.

    haha. used to be train for me in the past semester. i think he ended up thinking i was a stalker. but i swear, our gaze met accidentally every time. it was not planned or anything.

    -nice ending.

    -lightning is fantastic.

    overall, nice.

    I agree with the former commenter; don't change a thing. I think every image brings the emotion to a higher level.
    You get the award for most intriguing metaphor I've read in a long, long time; in fact, I think, ever:
    "i take it you got my optimistic wrist.
    split in two"
    Honestly, I have no idea what that thought means, but I adore everything about it; the phrasing is flawless, and like I said - it just asserts poignancy.
    I love that first line. It opens the piece up wonderfully, and the ending is equally matched in power.
    Great work - another favorite of mine from you.

      thank you so very much
      and about the phrase.. i think as i was writing that; i thought of violence in the form of words but put in a more metaphorical way. grabbing something that was positive and snapping it. but again thank you for the comment ♥

    no no no no no no don't change it
    don't
    just don't

    i adore how this is. every inch of it. how it seems fragmented and sort of skips from one thing to another. it's like being on a boat and rocking from side to side; each edge there is a different idea or a different face and there's just so much to take in.
    if i'm honest this is some of the best imagery you've woven in a while. it's original. it's like electricity after a year of candlelight. bright. sparks so much in my brain
    i'm rambling
    i like, i like
    i love
    this and you
    <3
