Where are you? Won’t you come home?
It’s getting late.
Baby, I’m starting not to like this.
Put them down. You’re making me nervous.

Where are you? Won’t you come home?
It’s getting late.

let me crawl
away to my hole
and hide until
the galaxies reflect
off my translucent skin

my eyes are burning,
crystallizing.
let me drift away.

what's true? do you feel anymore?
we're so disconnected. you scrolled the year away.
the planet is burning. people are dying.
do you even feel?

what is wrong with us?
sipping tea in blood stained clothes.
millions swarm. stab. shoot. eat melted flesh.
millions weep. scream. bleed. DIE with their kids.
millions sit. stare. drink. eat. yawn
in heated robes.
What is wrong with you?

Those swirling gases are fading.
It’s not blue, black. It’s gray. So gray.
Am I desaturated or is the sun rising?
Colors dance in a kaleidoscope twirl
Around my fists. Stay with me.
The sun is so pretty.

will I be happy? be loved?
when I'm skinny, thin?
weighed down, a freak, monster
while everyone else is flying.

baby, how do you love something
like me? this rotten bag of flesh.
I wish I was better for you.

They’re everywhere. Let me hide.
I can’t face them.
Piercing, stabbing.
What do they know? Do they know?

What’s behind your irises?
They’re beautiful. They’re terrifying.
Two, but they’re multiplying.
Stop. Make them stop.
