TITLE "strangers settling into broken homes
together"
there is nothing left to kiss you with
a mouth
and a few broken teeth
yellowed and vintage from all the old school music we recite
smoking a few filtered cigarettes
I am sitting in the back of my car
throwing ash through windows and winds
I remember that ghosts still walk by
I can't see anything
just remember
and respect
and pray that I will save a life before I take mine
One day
it won't be so difficult to swallow
with strep throat coated stomachs
the truth is just like that
it feels like dancing with your mouth open
no words or melodies
just a harmony
two feet between bodies
keeping asses and breasts to one self
and hands to hands
touching palms like we all want to tell each other's futures
I am not a fortune teller
cannot remember the last time I knew what I wanted for myself
I do not see what you want me to feel
some days feel heavier than others
i just want to run some days
not holding hands with anyone
just in my pockets, maybe
maybe trying to get a grasp on the air beneath my wings
flying
dreaming of the mist and the fog
getting lost in it
just for an excuse to stay home
i have wasted a part of my youth
being so confused
but i can't help myself
if I honestly don't know the answers I need
nothingness
beautiful nonetheless
