Nonee - Hello Poetry

One day, I woke to find you lodged in my chest. You had peeled back the skin in surgical fashion, then driven in like a stake, flush with the sternum. What am I to do with a man between my lungs? I clean the wound as best I can and wait for your next move.

To fall in love

One day, I woke to find you lodged in my chest. You had peeled back the skin in surgical fashion, then driven in like a stake, flush with the sternum. What am I to do with a man between my lungs? I clean the wound as best I can and wait for your next move.

I read ahead to the end of our story. Told it to you. We laughed, then and wept later, in private: We change with the seasons, our bones softening to allow for the other’s. In Spring, I leave you with a crown of daisies. You leave me with a kiss.

Delicate now, I lay my bones out one by one. The first is found to contain a colony of bees. Another is home to a sparrow which comes and goes through a hole pecked 1.5 inches in diameter. A third has fully succumbed to dust and is held in a cloud-shaped jar which fluctuates in ways of shape, as is the habit of cloud-like entities. When time has come to dissect my skull, I call out one last entreaty of the physical world: a dinner invitation. Serving out a platter of ****** features, I cease to exist.

I want to go back to my roots, to playgrounds and sunsets, soft grasses. To silky skin, where winds blew pink and unfamiliar. To before.

i look for you on city sidewalks, fourth floors, and various astral planes - you aren't one to make yourself known but leave clues like 1. leaves in the autumn wind 2. period novels 3. the occasional lottery number
