handle with care
there are 206 bones in the
human body. it only takes one good
squeeze and your neck can snap as
easily as a twig.
once, when i was at the grocery
store, i came across a crate of
peaches. they were on sale because
every single one was bruised and it
made me think, "we're all just pieces of fruit
left to rot. as soon as we've been dropped on the
floor, no one wants to help us back up."
i've forgotten how to think in poetics.
three months ago i would have
compared people to roses. pretty little petals
that can be crushed with just
one little pinch and thorny stems that
whisper "don't touch me."
but now,
i think we're more like
bombshel

no means no
I.
i can come off as being needy
needy- like the time he pressed up against me
and said it was okay
'this is what people who love each other do'
his shy words gripped me
‘i love you’
tighter than his grasp that night did
II.
at the time
it was hard for my head to wrap around
what his skittish words really meant
because love is a tentative word
i love falling asleep
(the same way i fell for him)
knowing there are stars above
strategically placed to protect me from
snagging shadows
i love the way i can feel
as if a shoddy blanket
(or a pair of arms)
can warm me for a fortnight
i love the way music leaves an imprint

Debussy
Restless under the
clairvoyant moon—
dreams quiver like
candlelight against
a long-lost muse.

Just a simple six word piece. I felt like writing about infinity. Whatever that word means to you, I'd love to hear your interpretation of this piece. This is another one of those things I purposely left open-ended to see how people would interpret both the dying and infinitum in same piece. I hope y'all enjoy this.

but... how could you die if you're in infinity? doesn't that mean never-dying?
