Description
i’ll justfind another way
for your name not to
taste so heavy on my tongue
tallying up
the weight of the sound
within me
.
brutal as fuck
i know your bones
like mine
watched them ache and break
.
but I still
can’t go in your room
(although you’ve held me within it)
shitty, stuck-together walls
every part of me
but my hands
have touched
.
i don’t think you know that
they named the river
after the genuine expanse
that would be you
.
i keep it small like a thimble
held back from impulse
laced into titanium retainers
holding my mouth together
the way yours didn’t at 14
.
and i’ve seen you as a child
chin meets concrete
a thousand-mile stare
giggled back into my gaze
(relayed and repowered)
across the pavement
beat down
your feet holding what craves to be done
kicking it out of your bones
.
my hands holding something
but none of that 6-year-old anguish
20 y/o mute you has
forced through your passive flesh
emanating a vaporized smoke of emotions
miscible-y wafting around you
left to witness
laid to bear
laid bare
.
see how that meditation
takes you
crucifies you
extincts us
.
these words feels worse
with you gone
(you better still love me)
oil on canvas
