words are my soulmate

from what we saw, we entered

the realm of us in fair emotions

with rugged walls.
shaved off lights are coming at us strong;

heavy distances with acrobatic

skins kissing on metal shelves.

blackened sacrament twisted off

with dreams of laying awake on

your fear. we cramp outside

us and consider the rain when

we lie.

vinyl records memorized by

charcoal’s painted inspiration.

i am serving your dark studies

with my museum secrets.

i become defend by your

opaque silence; it is numbing me

into a forbidden tomorrow.

words are my soulmate and

i will, i will never let him go.

words will mean everything once

you disappear into the deepest

blue of loss. we will wander

and be forgotten; all the more

reason to live.
