Untitled 31

I am made of saltwater and glass

and I am a hundred years old.

I breathe in your cigarette smoke

for a minute, you are in my lungs.

Stockpile warmth,

winter is coming to crack our hands.

The light trembles and dissolves

we are now in darkness.

When you left our eyes were still layered with sleep.

My fingertips still hum from the realization

that we are made less of flesh

and more of electricity.
