on the evening of december 23, 2015
i crawled into your arms for the first time

“

We save ourselves, our richness, our honey, for ghosts that never come. And we miss each other. Again, and again.

“

When she pushes me onto the couch and straddles my thighs, I feel like Atlas with his quivering heart

“

The other held her so tight, she could recognize the different patterns of the beats in their naked breasts – while hers was pounding and craving, the other’s was calm and receiving.

“

Maybe
We are better broken by each other

“

Wake up,
today you are not texting back your friends
even when they say
that they are filing a missing person’s report

“

I am not whole enough to be able to fill your vacancy.
The truth is, you deserve greater and
so much more— and that, I am not.

“

We hurt people because life is made up of choices, and with every choice is a possibility that someone will be hurt by the outcome.

“

Don’t ask me to come back now.
As if silence didn’t consume us.

“

All said and done
Sitting in the insatiable silence
Awaiting the feeling in my legs to return
I taste the bitter ambiance
