I remember drowning and that's it
Time runs backwards
Nonsense is produced

My bones scare me more than the concrete that shatters them
Am I here forever?
Because I've forgotten all of it

empty hull
emptied corridors
empty nicotine stomach
coughing up animal fat

on leaving

I am dead
inside of my head
when I'm the only one left
this is the only thing I think I know

but I can't take it anymore

******* I don't need it

that's what was said
that's what I thought

I was wrong
so wrong

It is difficult to operate machines on an empty stomach
Something about their piercing glare is so
Appetizing

I live for my next meal
That is to say I think I can afford it

When I'm gone, I don't want much to happen, as that would have been how it was regardless
I ask for one last glance towards the horizon over the water
I feel as if that's all I need

Every time we went to the pool
You mocked the lifeguards
For their hair and the way they applied their sunscreen

I bet you thought that was funny
Until you drowned
