I don't know how to separate poetry from humanity
Folder:
2018 this is sometimes poetry
sometimes how I break and bend
this is sometimes humanity
you can’t tell it how to run
how it slips through your mouth
yesterday I looked at my own dissertations
on life and dreams and apples and you
and it was like
you wrote it
while I was sleeping
I’m not your toy
you can’t
write with my hands
you can’t hold them either
sometimes I don’t mean to
but I use your breath
to crinkle the pages
sometimes I don’t mean to
but I open this notebook
and crash and burn
and maybe sometimes
it’s not
for you

poetry is the quintessence of the human soul. It's easy to confuse poetry with humanity because they are so intertwined.
Sometimes Humanity
Always about humans no matter the matter. Good to read you again - slc
