i
wanted to know
how it felt to
swim.
so i dived-
and struggled in chlorine,
with veins and bones that
stuck out like things
that don't belong
a worse story
doesn't make a better ending,
does it.
horizons
scrape black clouds
on summer days. and rainy
nights topple walls, voices
and in the dark
a quiet iloveyou in one breath.
it's the
moon i want and can't have
and the everythinginbetween
that i cannot understand
which makes
the world a dash of cold rainy water
on the glass. somebody else's mistake.

"it's the
