sometimes I am more
human than being.
a car crash heart
on a freeway
having all my best breakdowns
when time goes missing
and I can’t feel my
skin cage anymore
my atoms are reverse explosions
and I don’t have a countdown
just wait for the
tick tick
boom that doesn’t end
hold me close like
something breaking
sometimes I am more
being than human.
stillest statue
drawing in all the colors
sit here with a face full of fists ready to swing
but I can’t stop existing to do it
so I will hold them until
the human sets in,
midnight launchpad ready to set me
all the way free
I can reach the rope
to touch the skylines
holding someone and
I won’t let go
I can dive so deep
you won’t find me
sitting in this Be
in the darkest sand
and then when my breath
catches at day’s end
make it to the surface
just in time to curl
into the smallest ball
you’ve ever seen
empty all of me
trembling
onto shore
so you can’t pull me apart
