i found out
another friend is
Sad
with a capital 's', with capital weight
heaviness, of a bomb dropped
into glowing memoriam
sorrys and thanks, in equal measures
the world is
a little off kilter, a little
straighter
now
the sky still disassociates with the earth, in the morning
a membrane of white
stitched by avian sillouettes
awhiles whittling into brittle tones
paneling the arching of our spines
and
the italicized whir points out the
jagged smoothness
of sighs

i want to let it
go
like a balloon, watch it
float
up to it's heavenly
mortality
close my eyes with sick
pleasure
scream out a sigh, let it
fly
let every breath be a
kiss
and every eyeful a
gift
presented by the esteemed chorus
of my heartbeat
i read this at a poetry slam once, that was really cool

i think that everyone
who wants to cry
should take a pen
and
write down everything
that went to **** today
because the blue lines
have a way
of condensing the chaos
into a listless listing
and the pen
has a way
of crossing out
the mistakes

bridging across time and
emotional space
trails of fate coming together
tying in neat little knots
twisting strands of DNA
and the oils of our skin
cheap coffee, chewing gum
and newspapers read by serious men
crying children
and hollow adults
(crying on the inside)
dingy humans
walk clean floors
to fly
this is probably one of my favorites, and someone i idolize really loved it
