between these lines of battered pages are tapestries of flowing thought riddled with words from chaos habitually written over and over until i can breathe again. cryptic is good. eyes paint metaphors. valleys vague. these are the summits and plummets of my pulse against the night sky. i'll let you peak inside at the spiders' webs, follow these lines and see where they go. i'll tear down bricks to let myself feel. grab wildflowers by the roots. take out the bad, vinedresser. on this paper i'll bleed until i'm empty. of your words i'll eat until i'm healed.
