ive started to notice
that im bleeding from my
chest
and I am staining the carpet
leaving foot prints that track
my restless mind
and hungry stomach
there are splotches on the
ceiling where
the white of the walls
left their carefully marked boundaries
migrating into one another
we buy bus tickets to a town
called hope
only visiting
not able to afford
the expensive housing
instead we will travel
with coins in our pockets
trying our best to repair the wounds
we acquire along the way
gathering missing parts
and extra pieces
the carpets
will remember out broken hearts
and the pain they brought with them
but the walls remember the
joy
of tea late at night
and coffee in the morning
for we are smiling more often
then we are not
handing out joy like
free samples at Costco
to those we pass on the street
or in our dreams
we have been alive
for so very long
and yet we have just started
and i have started to notice
i am bleeding from the
chest
but im too busy to notice the stains
on the carpet
that im bleeding from my
