day 6: 'outside the window'

*

PSA

To comemorate napowrimo 2014, and to make up for all the days I didn't make poems for, I'm going to attempt to do the challenge in May instead? Expect it to stretch out into June. It's been pretty busy lately. 

M.

I slept in your shirt last night, over-sized and forgotten at the bottom of a pile of long-washed clothes haphazardly shoved into a closet with half-broken hinges.

day 0 & day 5: the kiss

Poem Used: an excerpt of when men started calling... by Shinji Moon

I’m wearing my skin and it 

clatters when I walk, and

no one prepared me for 

this.

Day 4: If

time is linear,
you will never happen again.
                     --  love me now

Day 1: fragmentary

To just stop will mean no more swish or fizzle or bubbling, no delusion of
an interval.
Then, the music.
In the meantime, don’t ask, he won’t hear you.

from “The Book of the Dead Man (Silence)” by Marvin Bell

1. When I first found you, I thought to myself how interesting you must have been to have shown up in the middle of this tumultuous ocean with me, emerging from the underside of a boat near-sinking. I hoped you would teach me how to tie a knot to combat the raging sea or slit a throat without wincing; instead finding out that you had escaped a prisoner and knew nothing of the water.

2. Best viewed under moonlight, under premise, under siege.

3. I will never recover from you.
