Avoidance
Grow, wet tree
I’ll let you be
set you free
unfurl your
thistle seeds
in the breeze
sun on steel
surreal
visceral
cure all & heal
pow
scars and chars
(a missile)
now, let’s see,
what’s visible
recedes
to these
miserable
Fucking needs—
demolished
is the city you wished
brick by brick
they click and rustle
down the mounting
MOUNTAINS OF PITIFUL RUBBLE
jamming fingers
as the pieces fall
The pain makes you wonder
how
it could happen
how you could be so hurt
and imagine
They’re probably laughing
You think about
how much you want to be wanted
Needed
you could just die;
fade into the evening sky
sans saying hello or good bye
just asking forever for another try
as the other side nears
Your door’s not locked
but nobody’s knocked
for years
you deserve it
you don’t know why
the nerve’s hit
