It’s a sad, sad day, and I’m breathing in with the waves. Because I’m in chains, I listen carefully for the rain. Sometimes there is closure; mostly there’s my eyes. A lack of her sweeping hands brushing me off the table. Genitals and veins with no pause for control. Colors to memorize. There was beauty here. The islands are stars cast away by night. We all inhabit shores lined up with trees. Half-hidden scribble in illegible sand: take my hand, help me, help me -- help me -- please. I don’t understand myself. I don’t understand, myself. It’s nice to be wanted. It’s nice to pray again. I’ve come to realize what I write is this lost notebook tonight. Sweet summer footsteps, take me home. I want hope. I want to belong. Sadness & violence – I want to leave. When I’m here, forever’s lover bleeds. Empty chairs, empty lawn, empty face, empty dawn, empty glass, empty wine, empty love, empty time. Christ helped me with my necktie. Shadowy trees and soft blue kisses. We’re waiting for something to happen. She left gift wrap with empty cups and memories. |

I think I understand, you're suffocating because you feel dead inside (or the person who would experience this) and even when you breathe and write you still choke. Great stuff here. Bold a little, but hey, that's life. |
