xii. an ink stain, a paint brush

if the boy who draws

lets you look over his shoulder

if the poet smiles

and shows you her words

if the girl who sings for the shower only

hums a song in front of you

know that you are no longer a person

but the air and dust that fills their lungs

when the world perishes

and all things cease to exist

you'll remain inside an ink stain

a paint brush

a song.
