Description you throw out your journal
and stop introducing yourself

and stay up for days
and avoid the train

and say you forgive them
and cry when someone
touches your neck

wow this killed me and I'm not even sure why.


this poem is like a perfect shape of negative space that gives you the outlines of a faceless tragic reality. I dunno, you picked the perfect moments in the perfect sparseness. it hurts.

this is simple but it hurts in a soft way. if i were to offer some advice, i would try taking some of the 'and's out. other than that, this is really lovely.
