August
“I’ve written one poem, and my mind has been blank for the rest of the days.”
“Past midnight, when the world is deathly quiet, my hunger sickens me.”
September
“Another year closer to my death. Hours of darkness consume me with my thoughts, yet for once, I felt happy.”
October
“Fourth of October, I bought grapes from the grocery store. I ate each one at home, coffee on the side — and when none were left, tears welled up as I thought: like the grapes, everyone is gone and I am alone.”
November
“November I write and write, and yearn, and grieve
not to anyone in particular,
but to someone familiar,
this gut-wrenching, unattainable, dying star
whom I would take to my grave,
close to my unbeating heart.”
December
“Fifteenth of December. Happiness is temporary, scars are forever, and the only true freedom lies in death.”

there is scattered verse in tertiary reasoning
i am a vocabulary of one
my intensity is throttled into a
meek surrendering of gentle fastidiousness
surrounded by a momentary court
that announces there's only
you, your fingernails and the measured guidance of not accidentally choking
blessed am i in the house of good council
a concession stand of dried fruit
i stand in the ether

Thinking about this:
I could do so much better
But then, so could he
There are much better people
In the world than me, I know.
