I spent today with
my heart in my
-
sharp slants of sun
slither through the grass at evenings onset
-
I thought about how it hides the stars.
-
the mass distraction of millions
and the destruction of one
-
but still I reach
a war cry on my lips
-
so many days/so many hours/lost in trying to forget
and the one thing i tried to lose/is the one thing i can't forget
-
If I could remember
just where to dig
I could find all the stones

Sunlight streaming through bamboo shoots. Flickering behind the stalks and passing clouds. Air crisp in its ultimate Autumn-ness. Like biti
-
At times I smell of fire because smoke is in my blood.
-
The first time I kissed a man-
I found my soul

I often wonder

The last time I slept under the stars

So far I've been gentle
So far I've been kind

I reach for the sick feeling in the pit of my stomach
just to see if it's still there
-
Today I was a person.
I don't do it often.

How saddening
to return home

I can see it in the hollow of their eyes
the look of a person who's already died.

And there's just no way to explain it-
This thing called Death.
-
"some people will believe in you
regardless if you want them to
-
it's seven am.
and it's unfair.
-
you don't have to run from me
i say in my head...
-
oh it breaks
it breaks so hard
-
i can feel his fingerprints
sliding slowly down my neck
-
I want to live life
Violently.
