17&countin'

oh corporeal form, that

shaped by the motions of boulders

n sand, why do restless waters go

always like this - lapping at

the doorframe, the little dripping

sounds in

the basement?

 

held an arm up, to the sky,

to clear the sun out of sight,

but somehow you just can't catch warmth,

here.

 

and i said all of the things that i'd

needed to say but if not

why's it matter,

either? what a curse;

am i sad?

am i happy?

am i just over it?

 

& is that just the same

as giving up?
