I’m lying in bed tearing my cuticles  off and rubbing my calves together And personhood is oozing out from the cracks in these walls I’m exhaling complacency. I wonder who you’re thinking about when you fall asleep And what’s dripping from the ceiling In a room I’ve probably been in Summer threw itself from thunderclouds And the person I picked up out of the rainwater Isn’t me anymore, just droplets of something vacuous Which is exactly how you feel now Constantly expanding and pushing me into the negative space around you All of this is negative All of me is empty All this feels like is space Infinite miles of outer space into forever “Forever” Like I said. Vacuous.

August 26, 2014 – Empty
I’m lying in bed tearing my cuticles  off and rubbing my calves together And personhood is oozing out from the cracks in these walls I’m exhaling complacency. I wonder who you’re thinking about when you fall asleep And what’s dripping from the ceiling In a room I’ve probably been in Summer threw itself from thunderclouds And the person I picked up out of the rainwater Isn’t me anymore, just droplets of something vacuous Which is exactly how you feel now Constantly expanding and pushing me into the negative space around you All of this is negative All of me is empty All this feels like is space Infinite miles of outer space into forever “Forever” Like I said. Vacuous.
