Life's betrayal

breathing sleeping dreaming in

my body breaking 

sorry

for all the mess

the sounds and the smells too close to be my own anymore

desire itself

of and for being 

here and there 

and everywhere

as you kiss me 

and my skull caves in.

Godless Promise

Let me fall down
and my heart break
so that the world can get all the way inside me.
Let me let go of holding on
and sadness frame this grief
without your name.

And I will love the life of my death
all the way back from eternity to you,
to the time the clocks will never tell
disordered perfectly
as if nothing always happened
just like this.

Even the brave fall down

And yet we still pretend that none of us will die.

As if we didn't have a soul
that whispers
Love
Everything
You Can.
