I’m lying in bed tearing my cuticles off and rubbing my calves together
And personhood is oozing out from the cracks in these walls
I’m exhaling complacency.
I wonder who you’re thinking about when you fall asleep
And what’s dripping from the ceiling
In a room I’ve probably been in
Summer threw itself from thunderclouds
And the person I picked up out of the rainwater
Isn’t me anymore, just droplets of something vacuous
Which is exactly how you feel now
Constantly expanding and pushing me into the negative space around you
All of this is negative
All of me is empty
All this feels like is space
Infinite miles of outer space into forever
“Forever”
Like I said.
Vacuous.
