calcium
i tried to stop your calcium intake so that you would never grow / i wanted you to shrink so that i could keep you in my pocket / and you could gnaw through the fabric and plunge onto my toes.

clutching
i can see the muscles strain on your / back when you lay alongside me, they / look like rib cages and i lay there too

communion
i have relied on circumstance and fate all of my life. / god has never shone down on me and occupied / my life with luck.

every millimetre
If i could have your arms as a pillow, i would bring it everywhere, even on the bus. I would wrap it around me if i was cold. I would put half of it on my shoulders if i was at the cinema. I would put them behind me if i was looking at the sea, and make it squeeze around my / stomach until i felt you in my bellybutton. / I want to be a fish gliding through your veins, come out of your mouth and kiss every millimetre of your lips.

grief
grief struck me like a lightning bolt / the anguish thundered in my gut, tasting the / sting of it's acid decimating my throat

how i felt for a year after you left me in the park and your swing kept swinging- like a pendulum towards my heart
loneliness crept on every breath

i smoke and i think of you
i wake up and i think of you / and i look out of my window / it is grey and the lights stopped

ocean
inhaling the ocean breeze and feeling it empty my lungs makes me feel completely intact / i can taste the salt in its entirety on my tongue and i try to scrape it all off with my front teeth / i feel the waves roaring over my heart, liberating it from veins and its arteries, the sea filling the orifices of my organs

one million times
i have been told one million times that / love conquers all but it seems the coordinates / of my existence have never been found or

pacific ocean
i wish i could swim the pacific ocean and back. / and when i came back to sit in front of a burning burning fire / until it dried me to the bone.
