deify

sometimes i wish i could forget everyone i ever met

and lie down on my back in the ocean

only feel the noiseless miles between my toes

minnows kissing my skin

and nothing else

 

sometimes i wish i could forget everything i ever lived

like dragonflies sitting on echinacea

and then dying under snow stars

to bloom spirals on my grandmas palm

 

i wish i could get rid of you, write without you, dream without you, laugh without you, die without you

but 

how special you are when part of you becomes me

how special i am when part of me becomes you

  • softness

    i could fit in any boot

    now i fill soles like thick snow

    how lovely it is!

    i am as soft as the love that surrounds me

    i am as soft as the ground

    i'm softer than i was before

    slowing and staring

  • hardcore crushing

    what do the wings write, light in the sky

    tales told to the whistling, empty guy

    stellar moon that turns eyes hibiscus pink

    darling dark hair, shining star, who slips his hand away in the morning

  • what you sing

    reminds me of crows billowing, in the middle of the day when I can see their wings

    of snow and christmastime, falling bright orange or blue, covering shadows

    watching it all from up high
