eventually


with the last breath in my lungs i 

throw myself into the rain. 


i sit at puddle’s-edge, 

stand on concrete precipices, 

lose myself in chimney-smoke and 

store-window dust, and


the metropolitan closes it’s doors on

my toe. they say that 


this is the type of sadness they make movies about, 

the type of sadness now-dead poets thought was love, 

so wear it like it’s makeup. 


they say that if you float through smog 

like an unpardoned angel,

your bones will forget how to stand.
