#assembled
I come from paint
And tangled words
I come from shouting
And whispers
I come from the sketches
And vibrant thoughts
Strokes of chroma
And artistry
I come from the salt of every ocean
From blazing fire
And summer storms
From the rock of Jupiter
I am an improved form,
Assembled,
Of the materials,
Of anything I decide.

Do you pretend that pain does not exist,
That my presence is irrelevant?
Maybe it is not pretend for you.
I'm here looking up at your shadow as
You walk over me and walk alone
In San Diego. The city of my youth my home
Away from home.
You are, that city, my heart away from my heart.
Beating and ebbing as the waves on the sand,
The arteries ache and stretch with the breath of my distaste,
I feel something with you gone.
And with you here. But that's not now because you're there,
Healing and skating and smoking with strangers
And taking pictures to remember being 19
in the tunnels
like the veins heading away from me.
19 lines to describe what eye feel when you ignore
Something you said was unique.
******* Anne. I ache.
