Earth No great poem erupts out of happy thoughts
A very old man Huffed and puffed and wheezed his way to a computer in the library today Thank god there was aircon I’m so tired of looking at Instagram I can’t imagine having to huff and puff and wheeze up 6 flights when I’m walking with a cane I once took Xanax and made sand angels on the beach for hours There’s so much space on the beach I bet it was easier to be Paul Varjak in the 60s They still had stairs, But otherwise, all you looked at were the clouds and your typewriter.

A poem, about being so tired today
Tonight I fall asleep with you on my lips I just got back from Paris and I think I'm still in love with my ex. I feel like I'm putting on the slippers of my old ghost. Now I think I was just ovulating. But I want before sunset, And passion that radiates out of me Like the pressure of blood being pushed through veins, that I can’t stop. A single look can hold infinité passion. A whole relationship could hold nothing.

A poem I wrote when I realised I might still love my ex
The milk in this cereal is going to **** me up later Every day I fight feelings of emptiness And the cinemas in Paris have bedbugs. But that’s alright because the sky above the seine at 9 pm in summer could cure anything. Except bedbugs.

A poem I wrote after I felt empty inside, again
In Paris I can pretend I'm a piece of seaweed But I don’t. Because I could never stand to be alone in silence. Not even when the church bells ring.

A poem I wrote after thinking too much, again
Today I woke up to the warm feeling of your love, more delicate than I’d seen it in you. More sweet and delicious, more ripe, more bare. I wish I could hold onto every thread of your love, your warm love, keep counting all the places you spelled my name with flowers in the trees. I wish you loved the freedom in my soul as much as you loved the idea of me. I’ll see you now and again, in dreams where you visit me.

I want to find myself far away from you And your shallow net of love Too easily I slipped from your fingers Too easily I dissipated from your mind I want to find myself in headlights of dark highways And foreign gas stations on roads unknown Where I’ll feel whole in the lust of mystery Where fresh beginnings grow on every corner Where the scent of the air breathes differently And color of the trees shine brighter I want to find myself away from your memory I fear how far I’ll have to outrun the roots of our intertwined youth. I don’t want you to exist to me anymore.

Paris Headlights
I wish I could drag you into my wildest dreams And we’d play like children And you’d look after me As we stroked on gently into slow living And I kissed your cheeks in the kitchen And we watched clouds from our garden And rode bikes down to the water And held hands as the sun set

happily never after
Suddenly I look for you In crowded bars In the darkness of nighttime streets I look for you in the muscle Of big tall men Around the corners of every turn I look for you in my sleep And in my daydreams I long for you in my darkest moments

Looking
My wrists ache From these chains I pull harder and harder And I know one day I will escape But only when I’m bleeding And to bleed will feel so good And to leave will feel so good To run from this tormentor I think he likes when I try escape I think he likes when I show pain When he watches I will only smile

Fear
All I do is torture myself By dreaming of you And dreaming of something else’s
