i write poems that are almost completely made up with scenarios and situations that i create in my head with people that i create there too.
'i open my mouth to say-
my words are projected between heavens.'
i tried to stop your calcium intake so that you would never grow
i wanted you to shrink so that i could keep you in my pocket
and you could gnaw through the fabric and plunge onto my toes.
...
i wish i could swim the pacific ocean and back.
and when i came back to sit in front of a burning burning fire
...
inhaling the ocean breeze and feeling it empty my lungs makes me feel completely intact
i can taste the salt in its entirety on my tongue and i try to scrape it all off with my front teeth
...
i wake up and i think of you
and i look out of my window
it is grey and the lights stopped
glittering a long time ago
...
