the bed pushed against the wall {poem}

we are uncareful

with what is spoken

is done so through wind and steam

pouring animal sounds 

out onto the floor


100 heartbeats

no one can hear

steering into the rain

dont say that 

dont cry

dont leave


I feel like sometimes the night just continues leaving everything and everyone behind. shadows, rain always the same something is moving near the moon but noone bothers to look. I don't either. I have found shards of glass in my eyes just leave them there. The vodo phone rings on the corner of Aviation and PCH I keep going because what else is there. not tonight. not tomorrow. the water pools on the empty midnight streets in a way I thought I'd never see.


she's not coming back
