y’all feel free to write more verses
I don’t have time to write this
I don’t ever have time
to write this
but I write this
to believe in
me
there’s
a window
I forget to open
which needs windex
and caress. there’s a window
this window that you see unclearly
camp just outside it. find the indoor
shadows of afternoon wind
with a peek. make pale
your knuckles.
make pale what
you’ve known.
grow
anticipation
without held breath
and sweat unevaporatable
sweat, cling, but don’t protect.
there’s an open window, open anew
open again
