dear friend,
I can hear you
listening.
through the static
your voice carries
to the other side.
and you're falling apart,
one Saturday at a time
I can feel it
your heart in my hands
so ****** so frightened.
it's beating hysterically.
thump.
thump.
knowing you is
all that I can ask.
contentment arises
from your company
as I tell myself
what to think.
we're happy here.
no identification,
no forest fires,
just snaking vines
and sun-streaked regret.
it's quiet.
I only wanted to know you
as I had within a dream,
I woke up with wet eyes.
I woke up terrified,
I awoke in grief.
you will never die
in the places you hide.
living in the gold sunlight.
living in darkness.
living in the belly of the beast.
I know you.
I need you.
friend,
take care.
you say you need me
on your journey,
across the water
across the sand,
and I'll go with you.
it's better that way.
