alone_together
raze there's a scar on your chest you don't know how to talk about. you work the coiled telephone cord between your fingers, feeling around for a furrow deep enough to call a friend. you find me instead. your voice inches across a bridge of copper to get to where i am. we're two empty rooms in separate buildings. i shake the ache out of my legs and settle in. i'll listen as long as you let me. did you know we both almost fell apart on the same day? 220602

Soma It catches me off guard
Whenever I realize that you are you
And I’m still just me
We’re talking about boundaries again
I always find my heart melting into others
As if metals merging in the vacuum of space
The therapist tosses her hair when she laughs
And her eyes wrinkle in a way that shows years of joy.
I wonder what her sadness looks like.
I wonder if she’s laid there in her bed,
With eyes searching upward to timeless powers
And felt the heat of a heart not her own
While knowing that despite every moment of together
She’s still alone.
