dirty words.
A poem is something that rhymes.
Like when your wanting is becoming your life and you feel so full of -
Despondency, a jump, skip and a hop,
Right when you’re about to reach the -
End of this was the last time I’d ever see you,
And my god are your eyes so piercingly-
Dark and divine
And all that may crawl up your -
Elaborate towers and unbelief
Even though we all thought you’d wallow in your own -
A pool, of your own making; I took a dip once
It was a swarm
Shame on me for thinking
The sun might’ve made it -
Fucking brighter than I’ve ever seen
Filled with stars
Beyond us, almost all the way to the planet -
home. Where I first found the absence of god.
Underneath my fingernails like all this rotten-
And on top of that you’re glowing a warm blue spine, sodded and bent, mars dusty and perfect grief, like the day you decided to use all your favorite dirty words at once.
