i just want to go back
back to the day
where you kissed me
you and i
on that roof
the memory
will not fade away
and suddenly
all over again
i feel the pain
in my chest
stomach, back
and my throat closing
as i hear those
two words
that you yelled over the phone
"i'm done"

When you realized
my walls couldn't be knocked down
you built a roof on them
and called it *home

This is a message to all the ones
who find themselves alone in
their rooms on a Friday night.

I know downstairs is not the same-
different rooms, different pains.
Believers saying this is a good life.
A good good good good life.

Sister is telling you you're
too young to understand-
that you don't know what you're saying.

Mommy and Daddy are separated
into different rooms and they're telling you:
"Baby, nothing is broken. Wipe away those tears."
Wipe it away. Fade away. Forget it.

They are Oblivion.
From the bottom to the roof,
brick by brick living in
Oblivion.
Don't be afraid of the truth. Let the truth be afraid of you.
Roof of the sky leaks
A plumber looks for a tissue
In the duskiest summer

my foot just clinked
two
empty glass coke bottles
together and it sounded like rain
rolling off your roof.

era
the parallels of she and her and you
and the era extinct.
the notes that linger on the rooftop
the shapes that she drew
the shapes that you colored in
the notes that were written
the notes that were written
and erased.


the absence is not new,
though rises like a dull sun in winter
in search of somewhere
less white.
