Mar 2017
memorize, dismember, revive
This isolation has left me rigid,
eteranlly printed into this desolate landscape.
rememnants of the bones
that I tore from my chest for you
the residue of you still on my skin
inadequate, remember
I am hollow, my insides disseminated
around your creation.
How can one march with no bones?
souless, I cannot find myself let alone you.
How does the Earth dilate
deprived of it's oxygen?
dismiss, absolve
My heart was dug out
to replace your resonant ribcage,
but now we are not parallel
I am the hollow one,
depleted and collapsed
from the albatross I've seized from your lucidity
scarce, barren
i cannot reassemble, i am still sown
should I condemn you
or bear no malice?
recollect, release
absolve, exempt, alleviate
