galactic contraction
cells duplicate
nebulous and fading.
unsure of what
percentage
to give to you
biting fingernails
has never been enough
but maybe the siphon
of soul
could be
into halves, even
may go so far
as to end in
death
this would explain
why whenever i touch you
i pixelate
and breathe

perhaps love is meant to end. love opens one's eyes and mind to hope, validation, presence; meaning should exist before, during, after else one be lost in a sea of throwing-up-hands and mirrors smoked. tears are choked back often, smeared journal entries erode over time to be faint scars; we are libraries of guilt and apprehension stacked past icarus' wonder. once your fangs grow you're in the bite, only right to taste a throat or two before you file them away like wildflowers between pages of a book you will bury in dust. perhaps love is meant to remind us of kindness offered, of striving to be more, of how we know ourselves when we feel blessed, of coughing up beauty like stars aligned with expectations. and then, as a candle at dawn, let go.

The Weight We Carry
When I say my bag is heavy,
I don’t mean the fifty
pounds of textbooks
I stuff it with, filled
to bursting, then
take the stairs two
at a time to hear
my abdominal muscles scream
and feel my breath flee,
never looking back.
When I say my bag is heavy,
I don’t mean in pounds,
kilograms, ounces or stones—
maybe stones
the kind that Virginia Woolf
lined her pockets with
when she walked
into the Ouse.
When I say my bag is heavy,
I mean that Atlas staggered
under this weight,
and when my therapist asks
“Do you feel strong?”
I feel the crushing
of my collarbone
and answer truthfully,
“No.”
Literature
momentary.
✦ ✦ ✦
I am the sparks from a lost connection,
impulse on wires seeking a listener;
an unheard reply, silenced and aimless,
speeding in no apparent direction.
I can't stay afire - but before I'm smothered
by cold rooftop winds, I'll snap underneath
the talons of ravens, make them descent and
watch their arched wings spiral in turbulences.
