i forget about my thirst
as your exhaust sucks the life
out of the air
out of me
so normal
like you
were never gone
want to look at you
suck in every detail i've missed
while you stumbled through ireland
drove through africa
i guess the details of
me
seem insignificant now
details you won't care to know
slam the insides of my head
so that i see a brightly colored spot
in the bottom corner
of my left eye
