Inhale

New and Old Lonlieness

mixed

as some sort of sunless manifestation

of sunrise

Night bleeds into more Night

 

Exhale-

i can't afford the air around me

it's part of what was once gated by your lips

and i just dont deserve anything that

is misted with escape

 

what I'm trying to talk about is

choking backwards on this

sunless risen

suffocated by a rush

to leave this place that help

everything for me. My Kingdom Come

burn/burn/burn

 

Inhale

my mind has always spun like this

fast and faster

like a record

and now this record is warped

 

Exhale

everyone who could see me

was nominally aware

that this would be my last breath

we adjusted

 

My dead skin is taken up with tremors

i am electrified and unending

what is it that you've done to me
