…you ask your ten year old brother if he knows where the broom is,
and he responds with,“Why? Do you want to kill yourself with it?”

there was nothing I could do but
I did it anyway. yeah, I did
I took my shirt off. twisted around my

Children threw used needles at me

and by now, I suppose I understand that if I didn’t know me I’d do the same.
(but not fully because that isn’t how this works,
but these bouts bring clarity among other heinous things that I won’t think of now…
and I’m sure I can’t sleep,
not when I can breathe the air and remember why things fall into step like
one two jocularity— and why I made decisions that I contradicted, essentially)
the smell of the coffee’s reminded me today…
I was seventeen and was formally kicked out of my parents house for the first time.
I was smoking cigarettes then. Generous amounts of ganja and a few other things here and there. But I was still closer to whole.
I was in love with someone who’d broken my heart twice before, and wouldn’t stop for another year or so.
It was winter time, you’d already dropped out and I let you stay in bed each morning because the driveway was steep and the cold air stung.
The new scenery driving each day was comforting, and I’d rush home to greet you.
It was that. That feeling between the empty spaces of the morning kiss goodbye and the breath held until three pm.
Sometimes, I’m sure I won’t ever feel that feeling again…
Untouched bento box
I left it there, waiting…
…tears mingled with the rice,
better than soy sauce
I turned toward the window,

I’ll bring you ink. And a cigarette.
And……let me run away, up and down the stairs.

I returned to find fresh snow blowing in from an open door.The box lay closed now. All but empty except for a
Botan sticker.It wasn’t a cat,
so you left it for me.

or have anything meaningful to say.
and it’s more of a spectre now,
maybe remorse
or mutual misanthropy
…you won’t find what you are looking for
and I won’t find what I am looking for…
left with the yaghan natives,
bloodied by bit tongues,
now look at me in my mind rot.
ceiling spiders.
the kitchen had a checkerboard floor
and you ruined it.
I once found a dead lizard outside of that door,
I was just over four and excuse me for not forgetting that this is the worst week of my life.
oh no i made another arbitrary/nonsensical text post on my own blog oh jesus christ why can’t I ever sleep.
I fell into you last night and I swore I was dying,
in the space between sleep and the walls
where I was a refugee
there is but a day before you’re (hopefully) gone forever
maybe you know this,
but why you left when I gave in is something I don’t want to know.Well, this all makes too much terrible sense
—to bed.
