five

my string snapped
and your heart stopped
with your brain and it all went black
so I tried again
again again
until there wasn't left
to try once more
which then I knew
you’d never sing
us all to life again
and then I knew
I could never say
goodbye to you again


which lullaby will you lament
as the nightmares that it conjures
divvy up the crawl space tween
the loft and hollow
head of yours


hit it me up when you get back to help
ing
you, always harder sprinting (wind is
winding up a while) for a maelstrom
at your back (to back! blackening is just the
ash, painting pallid skylines) and where
the sun is always shining is the grass in where I
lay in where I lay in where I lay is where
i swallow up (I am that mouth, my mandibles
make you more one than whenever you
would cry and cough and crack) a dream I saw you
in, where I lay is gold as you've been good
at living when tomorrow is a year away


Lullaby
Your language
Set to dreams with a
Sonorous
Broken six piece horned the sky we sat
Split in part by air popping sat and soaking in the sound
