heavyweight
unhinged on my chest
just pressing the tears
right on out

(might not help
that i am intentionally
listening to depressing music
but sometimes i just need to
let it out
lubricated by some sad tunes
or lyrics
auditory rememberings
leanings)


and memories of
numerous sets of strong arms
wrapped around me
smiles of people that really know me
when i was out in the bay
my blather_family
i feel wrong, impatient, twisted
here
stupid milwaukee
the midwest doesn't know
what it's got in me
easily passed over
easily unseen
by the blind, dumb, deaf

...
unhinged ending always outweighs beginning for me
i am avoiding
taking the things off the wall
scared of the emptiness
i have known this house
longer than i've lived here
and if i could
just magically transport it
to a new neighborhood
the deterioration of this one
sad and alarming
also afraid
that living alone like i've wanted for so long
will mire me in sadness
the virtue of having a roommate
that there was someone here
at the end of the day to talk to
that i didn't indulge and hold onto
the tears so much
yes
the ending so far outweighs the beginning

...
unhinged (also afraid the ghosts of you
will further fade
you sitting at the dining room table
watching you walk away
seeing you standing on the porch
waiting for me
as soon as i turned the corner
my new place
holding no memories of you
except for the shirt you left behind)
