why the ****
would you
advise me to
speak my mind
if you never
intended to
listen?

ive let you
wade into the
rivers of my
body with
your clothes
still on,
and your
indifference
made them feel
more like
rivlets of rainwater

i am trying
to learn
the language
of letting go
with a tongue
swollen with
the thick accent
of holding on.

special:

i thought

i am not
a boy in
a dress or
a girl in
basketball
shoes:

i am
saltwater
wrath and
******
teeth in
the dark;

all that was
before you
and all that
will remain
after.

air
longing like
daisy chains
choke-collared
around my
lungs:

i only want
to breathe in
the air
between our
tongues.

I.
i still can't tell
if the longing
i felt
was innate
or passed
down to
me.

i no longer get drunk under the sun
in public parks where children play
talk to girls who get on their knees for fun
and fight boys who are more broken than me
i grew up in a city
with too many faces
for any one person to stand out
you grew among fields
and still to this day
i'm tortured searching for your face in the crowd
