Description
like taking off clothesor scratching
the faces out of photographs,
the flourescent ache
of routine appointments,
blurred glasses,
scrubbing cracks into
the backs of your hands
like moving every clock
out of your room,
like staying in bed until 4 p.m.,
sitting into sunrise with computer glow
and your legs unsteady,
like pouring yourself through a mirror
like your back against pavement,
the moon shaking in the sky,
like blood on your lips,
like catching something move
under your skin
like reaching for grit in dark water,
like piecing shapes from broken mirrors,
like speaking too much or staying silent,
chest pains like hot knives,
passing out in the waiting room,
like touching wood,
touching metal,
touching your hands together
to make sure you're still here,
like the need to lie down,
like the catch in your throat
when you say
“do you know what i mean?”
