Rest

I am not as brave as you

It is so so quiet here

where the fire rest.

EmptyNest

Tonight I've cried for you

or maybe I've cried for us

this scattered pieces falling off

ending moons and goddess of

the sun light stuck in

parallel dreams at the bottom of

a falling drink, drop /tear out/

this distance, fucking flesh this hand

on my head swinging the time mocking

any lines I do draw off

a falling sky

am sorry am turning you to someone you are not

just so I can own this pain this filtered air

parsimoniously nourishing my empty nest

Am sorry I can't even own this

the wand biting thighs, the eyes hors champs

a hand grabbing mine

and you'll never know how emptynest

the river of mine, traveling through desperate frames

while everyone else here are ''so fine''

''Hi''

''hi''

smile and sleep smile and sleep

they'll never let me leave am here forever

''Hi''

''hi''

waited for a ghost with a broken lighter of

tired god-like manicures

turn off your skin this liquor of

endings

and I fucking cried for us

I fucked the liquid blind

I fucked with or without light

this scattered pieces falling off

ending moons and goddess of

emptynesting the burden from

a night that should have never come.
