i spilled my heart and now i feel woozy and have those eclipses always been in your eyes? i swear there were stars in there before have i finally gone mad?
if i were to die today i'd want it to rain so the ocean can mourn in a dainty way but would you even remember me by then or has your memory of me already been washed away?
we rolled over suburban lawns soaking from heavy sprinklers at dawn a drought's coming, i can see it through russets and russets of leaves on anti-birch trees as i followed your voice to cosmic immortality.
riding bikes on the hill is our own panacea your mother called your name from below and that was the last time i've seen you since.
i've never tumbled alone but life's preparing me for much worse so i'll just think of you on the way down.
it's been months now crushing ants with my feet high knee socks burning wildfire and skater boys skate with their heads afloat on women twice their age it's been five months now do i really cross your mind as often as you say? or is that just a way of saying you've already moved on and i should too? but i witness seasons change when no one else would so it's hard for me to not think about you when summer's still rippling in my veins.
saffrons were in between your eyes whenever we made eye contact but that was when the azul sky was still seeping in through the gap between us when we sat down in that same bathroom stall for a brisk moment in time.
that felt so long ago, and it was but i won't complain if the letters stop coming in the mail but if i feel you forgetting the halcyon eleven o'clock conversations and after school strolls on metal fences then that's when my being will start to rot.
