I plug in the
vacuum cleaner
to **** it up
and see  
if it disappears
into a bag
that holds
everything
that is black
and blue.

la luna llora cada noche cuando el sol desaparece,
sus lágrimas son las estrellas.
the fable of the stars

the moon cries every night when the sun disappears,
her tears are the stars.

You don't want to be in my photos.
That’s fine, a thumbtack will stay in your place
You don't want to be in my videos.
That’s fine, I can trim, cut, edit
Until your shadow is completely erased
You don't want to be in my life.

That’s fine with me.
Now you have no one left. Is that fine with you?

you would think that a friendship like
ours was indestructible.
you would think that friends as close
as we were would always
drift right back to each other.

i know that you weren't intending to
repair the rift between us,
but i'd been hoping - and you knew it.
you know me.

i was stupid, i was hoping.
but you've disappeared again,
and i feel like a fool.
i only have myself to blame.

He was my forever rose.
The beauty that he possessed was irresistible,
To the point where the pain of his thorns began to feel pleasant.
Joy.

He was my elixir.
Designed to blind me from everything but love for him.
And so I left my life to join his, in hopes of living in this eternal lie.
Obsession.

He was Hercules.
The hero of my imagination. A hero of my own making.
Designed to have pride, power, loyalty, trust... All you could wish for.
Naivety.

He was my work of art.
A collage of his best traits, that I put together myself.
Only to have each piece go through self-destruction. It wouldn't last.
Disappointment.

He was the abuser.
Using my weaknesses against me.
Through words and actions, he tore through the petals of the Lotus.
The End.

You proved to be manipulative.
I proved to be a fool.

I read your short story, now I need you to find me.

can I disappear?
if I left would you remember me
the memories we share
the taste of my kisses
the touch of my skin
would you remember the love we have... let me disappear into oblivion
let me forget the pain I caused
let me cause no more pain
let me go out of this world and on to the next

I feel empty
Parts of me are drifting in the ocean
I can't swim
And get sea sick too easily
I just sit on this rock
in the middle of the ocean
Watching myself float into the deep blue
Taking off my hat and waving them off
Hoping that they return with more life than I could've given them

All too often
I'm tempted
To fall off the face of the Earth

If not only to see
If I'd leave a mark.

this morning the road collapsed
and it let the cosiness trapped

the traffic got insane,
the siren mocking among the lane
people screaming with blood on their faces
their joy was so close into ashes

it was a Christmas morning
a saddening mourning,
of those whose smiles disappearing

today a car crashed into the tree
on an attempt to avoid a catastrophe

the passenger got injured so bad
her entire body bleeding red
but the driver stayed fine
he even asked for a wine
