s./o./o./o./.s

they were already straight,

i just never noticed my posture before.

 

kept crawling along like

i knew the words i had been saying

had truth behind the meanings

 

soft swept by roads

when my feet slide

stripping

ink meant for

politics and money

 

i savor the taste

of meat i cooked

pressed between

light and birds

and the music of morning

the vacant smell of cooked breakfast

the vacant feeling of love in general

 

meanwhile, my hands bright

with the prettiest blue veins.

 

i keep thinking of you,

eyes shut,

still before the wake.

free from the shapes i was

about to reate

with my mouth,

 

and with my hands.

 

the absence of my breathe,

bouncing left, right as i keep

my word

something i could never engineer.

 

—

 

i started placing new woods,

right at the boundaries

of my favorite memories.

exploring with my eyes wide,

and observing new friends

leaping

from flower to flower

to moss to and to puddle.

 

i’m trying dreaming

because reality

will not hit yet.
