i can't draw
i don't know how to
only sometimes
i get a flash
of fake inspiration
from my own
swelled head

at least i can draw a square
but wait,
the lines aren't straight

then i realize
no one can draw a square
not without a ruler
at least

i love fire and ice
and i just want to burn the world before
knowing that there are people there
but I’ll just build everything better again
after setting it on fire
and freezing it in between the cracks

we - plural
you - singular and plural

the blank pages
call to me
waiting for the deluge
of lines of night
scrawled in cramped script
across their pristine beauty

but they can't hold
the carnage of crimson
in my brain
the fury and tears
that make up my heart
so i just write one
word

one
word

one world

one possibility

one hope

'if.'
