i am an open interpretation. i am a moment of realisation.

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

blue with nowhere left to go

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

the dark folding itself into smaller darks

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

she touched my hand

so briefly

but afterward

my whole body behaved
like a struck match

small
burning
unable to return
to wood

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

my skin understands what your silence feels like

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

i am still living in the afterweather of you

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

she has entirely too much moon in her behavior

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

dream still wet behind the eyes

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

small puddle outside
holding the entire wrong sky

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

and still
yes
i open the window

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

the music in you makes me feel

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

soft mouth
sharp heart
same girl

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

you moan like thunder
and I melt like rain

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

the sky keeps

verbing

over the houses
over the wires
over my little ruin of a chest

and i cannot make it
noun again

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

sky

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

beautiful, patient, and a little dangerous is exactly my type of ending

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

today seems
very
tuesday
for a world still containing peaches

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

i would start
with your forehead

then your eyelids
then the corners of your mouth
then the place under your ear
where tenderness becomes dangerous

and by then
you would know

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

say it without saying it

[@poeticallylost @poeticallylost]

i keep imagining a softer decade with better fruit
