eyes are bursting
(insert adjective here) feeling has found me again
this time I was careful to hide far enough away beyond fields beyond highways beyond everything I once was
..but it found me anyway
deep footprints in snow that hasn’t even arrived yet
streetcorner calls my name (straight up after Tunney’s)
bright lights of a (not even on a) corner store
I remember staring so long, sitting in that cold apartment
6am sitting on that cold kitchen floor by the heater
because that was the only place that was warm
& writing poetries until I knew I was done
those moments are buried so deep - (or at least I thought they were..)
six feet of memories pushing metaphorical nails out of their coffins
my mind has to intervene & immerse questions,
coax them to retrace fumbling steps
bribing my own brain w/ promises
best kept under locks & keys..
