the clock ticks into the lonesome hours hung up on a single midnight prayer lingering on the lips of a bandit the strange humanoid breeze stirring the silky curtains swear i can hear harsh whispers underneath the sheets
elusive, like time you racing along cemetery roads rainy fog splashing quickly upon your rosy face i see a lighthouse glow coming from the depths of your soul it blinks twice, for help, but when i come closer the sea turns jet black, with only the moon as a fickle witness unreliable narrator, strung on the words i’m convinced are true
i remember the phone ringing and my feet sprinting to pick it up now you hanging up on me instead of the line the cord snapped off, a strategic static six different rings and betting that it is you on the other end, but instead it’s just ghostly noises and faint memories hung out in the yard like wet laundry
i’m crying the bullets you shot into me they come out of my pores, into my shaky hands, and i lose every sense of my existence it feels rare to belong, so impossible to fit into the correct puzzle piece
the floodwater so murky and enigmatic the clock ticks and i start to hear your laugh from the sky it dives into the walls of this crumbling house, singing as in amusement or sheer fear
devote my life to migration moving to places where your feet have stood, but it’s never permanent the fire is almost so inviting, gifting a warmth that no human being ever could hot coals and embers, but it doesn’t burn it feels like belonging.
well…it’s been a minute. i just haven’t had much inspo lately. letter from me to a former best friend/rock…again.
