the ceiling fan stopped spinning
and that was for the best
nothing left to remind me
that time was still passing
lately i keep dreaming
that all my teeth are falling out
can you help me, please?

what i'm afraid of
is that it will be obvious
when i can no longer hide
behind clothes and phone screens
what if it's written
all over my skin
and can't be washed away?
i want to want to
and i want to trust
that my instincts are unremarkable
and i want to be a part of something larger
if i can

once again
i feel the bony claw on my shoulder
the urgent call in my ear
pushing me closer to the cliff side
the sunny corner of my mind
swallowed up by snowstorm again
every snowflake has a voice
and each voice says the same thing
in different ways
repeated every hour of every day
the words may change
but the thought doesn't ever

summer means sleeping off the school year
retreating into the bedroom and never leaving
it's so easy to almost stop living
tired enough from too much breathing
forgetting to eat while sitting beside blinded windows
and listening to to-be-continued on the other side
dreaming of a past half-forgotten and half-invented
favorite roller coasters i've never ridden
backyards and swimming pools i miss that don't exist

See-Through

every time i remember
how to use my tongue
and draw their eyes toward mine
i wish, i wish
i wish i could become
see-through once again

New Routine
04:22
|

|
i live above the ceiling
and though i've glued my palms over my ears
i can't help but hear the noise
of the comings and goings downstairs
upstairs, the sound of footsteps without feet
the creaking of floorboards beneath no weight
merely dust and empty space
seven years without a word to speak
and no ear to lean toward
the distance is unbridgeable
no connection is possible
nearness at best
