i forgot how to breathe
when you were close to me.
close enough that our teeth were touching,
close enough that i could feel you blinking,
close enough that i couldn’t find our seam.
exhaling doesn’t come easily.
one of these days
all the fibers that are the whole of me
will fray and fray until they are no more
and the top of me will explode
and the bottom will melt away
and there will be puddles and smoke
of what used to be
one of these days
i will evaporate and the thoughts in my head
will fill the room without a body
sometimes i just really don’t know what i will ever do without you, so don’t leave me.
i really need you to be close to me. i think that’s bad.
i need to be close to every part of you,
not just the parts that are easy to get to.
let
me
in
you were lying there and
you said that my heart beats fast
i was wondering how it could
possibly be beating at all
so i started this new blog. it’s mostly for myself. but you can look if you want.

what a strangely odd night.
i need to stop
expecting you
to read my mind
you need to stop
expecting me
not to read yours
i’m angry because you fell in love without me.
there are dreamlike voices singing to me about magnetic altitudes and i do not understand what that means. i desperately want to.
i desperately want to understand everything.
trains in my head and in my blood and my bones are all in the way and i want to shrink maybe but stay the same because then i can not only observe but participate.
too many sounds are in this house and i want them to go away but at the same time it is music and it is why i am awake.
now they’re singing about the obscurity of our universe and how everything is worth it. is everything worth it? i want to say yes. i have been conditioned to say yes. so i will say yes. but the answer has nothing to do with me. why even bother asking? more words pop into my head.
everything is going swimmingly, right? swimmingly.
you sing me to sleep,
alive with the promise of music in the morning.
carrying me away,
away,
away, i hum along.
car rides home
with suburban lights.
on the phone
talking natural rights.
our days are the same.
i want to drink you up
because just like coffee
you make me feel
settled and secure.
