Lungs

The footsteps above my head

The itch in my leg

Pupils full of ink

I am where I was last week

 

A loop of day dreams

Keep singing and floating

Like yellow leaves

Burning green

 

And I can remember

Over and over

Burning green

 

And words I didn't mean

Someone who wasn't me

And pupils full of ink

Stones in my skin

Ink sinking in

 

Fingers grasping the page

"It's almost done" I say

And next week

I'll say the same
