POETRY
A Distance

Eyelids weighted from endless days, rolling into nights, rolling into endless days, rolling… housing stony eyes, locked in place, affixed on nothing you can’t do this forever
But you let it happen and you let it happen, and it happens even still, when you know this is on you and your eyes roll upward, and your scene splits in two and I hate you
The screaming rips at my throat, and it is unforgiving and I am unforgiving and everyone deserved better than your worst and you need us more
And one hundred miles doesn’t feel very far, but you’re gone and you go Leaving a churning ocean in your wake but now calm
Now quiet in a way you never, never will, never no, never know there’s no peace on you now, it fell to us instead and you let go
And you danced on the wind in your glorious falling, falling on your knees, on your heart, falling Keep far, for it is better on your heart and mine and I will forgive you
