one life on Earth,
collapsing inwards.
The people gasp,
faces turned towards
the sun
and
promise,
"I won't let it happen."
(a promise that has been broken many times before)

stripes of light fall softly
against this porcelain skin
I smile
slightly
and roll over
as I
breathe
you
in

whenever I get an x-ray
I expect to see great gaping holes
and chunks
of me
missing.
then
the doctor tells me everything looks normal and
I want to tell him his x-ray machine is broken.

they said, "take a step back and look at the big picture." but I forgot to mention I was already standing with my back to a canyon of regrets, heels at the edge.

the parentheses
of your lonely smile don't
haunt me anymore

I live on the bitter crumbs
of all I've done
constantly swallowing each and every regret
digesting all I haven't become.

these fingers drip gold
even so, you forget to
return once again

if the world were to turn upside down
i'd climb to the bottoms of the trees and let myself
fall
fall
fall
fall
until i reached you, galaxies away
i'd land upon your bootsoles
to see where you had been
and hope to find thoughts of me
wedged between the treads
then i'd dive into your skin
through buttonholes of your shirt
and nestled above your buried heart,
i dig
but cannot find a beat
