Hurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.
ASHES4BONESHurricanes and airplanes, we fly higher than the end of time.
ASHES4BONESWe burn incandescent memories lungs aching with washed-out oxygen as if we weren’t to meet again.
ASHES4BONESI lay awake thinking about how none of it had to happen for me to get to this point; and how I’m glad I got there, anyway.
ASHES4BONESCracks in the glass words we couldn’t invite in yet had to break senseless.
ASHES4BONESSouls are more than their bodies and bodies are more than their shapes.
ASHES4BONESGently you slither the arm around the one who got away.
ASHES4BONESHearts retch on homestretch where will we go?
ASHES4BONESI don’t believe in love at first sight; only now I realize that you did.
ASHES4BONESYou keep asking if I want more – Yet how could I ever say yes?
ASHES4BONESMoments passing evenings warning waves receding to everlasting tides.
ASHES4BONESYou can hit me and push me but you can’t quite beat me.
ASHES4BONESIt turns out the monster in you overshadowed the ghost of kindness I so believed in.
ASHES4BONESMaybe we’ll meet on the beach sand in our shoes, waves in our guts flowers blooming by some miracle because you always had the talent to make those happen.
ASHES4BONESYou left flowers on my bedside as if I were my tomb clumsy words that don’t begin to heal my wounds “I’m sorry” scrawled on a post-it.
ASHES4BONESSwallowing the negative words rising up my throat; I am writing my days with smiles and laughter.
ASHES4BONESThe sky is on fire I am, too cigarette burns on my faded tattoo.
