Turning on the lights to see what darkness looks like
-William James

Indifferent murders
Killing us slowly with their nonchalance
Using shy smiles and a quick kisses
To carry our minds
To distant oceans,
I watched such a daydream collapse
Crumpled amongst the sand and wind
And lights and sin
Booze as a spade
We made quick the grave
Of emotions too eager to latch on
Like a tick to a t-shirt
Sucking on cloth
Not blood
I don’t care about
Her eagerness to slip away
I just question
My part in it

A sky bustling with the invisible
my perspective
seems
small
