AND THEN WE DIE
I am nobody at birth
a baby at first
a stranger next
to the friend you curse
the love you blur
in bed it’s her
the enemy you churn
into a million pieces (what)
places (where)
faces (who)
I am a million reasons (why)
you don’t learn
and then I die
watch me
as I watched you.
we forward into sight
ghostly white
the way matches light
like rainbow lightning might
I am the girl you drugged
the boy you hugged
my stomach shrugs
like light to bugs
salt. memory. spill
I swallow the pill
This is the one we tried
But you don’t learn
and then you die
I watch you
As you watched me
