how awful, finding yourself in his eyes; in his mouth; in his lust for taking. you eat from the same rot-touched carcass, poison yourselves on the spoils. you're asking him, is this who you are? / you're asking yourself, is this who i am?

What is a ghost? Something dead that seems to be
alive. Something dead that doesn’t know it’s dead.

I thought about being placid, how quiet and comfortable it sounded. Someone who was never anxious, never tortured by doubt and indecision, someone who never stood as I did, hopeful, eager, frightened, tearing at bitten nails, uncertain which way to go, what star to follow.

I am full of suicides, of rotting corpses, of brittle skeletons, infecting the living parts of me. I am dead, though I do not die.

I will lose you. It is written into this poem the way the fisherman’s wife knits his death into the sweater.

I was always hungry for love. Just once, I wanted to know what it was like to get my fill of it – to be fed so much love I couldn’t take any more. Just once.
the future burns slow like a cigarette to my lungs, and when i go home all the emptiness fills me up
