the ink is not yet dry on my face
|
||||
or my brush as the wind whistles
|
||||
and judges how well I have painted this place.
|
||||
|
||||
this city is suffocating this body
|
||||
too short; I should have foreseen
|
||||
before I passed through that portal so haughty.
|
||||
|
||||
"work? pandemic? president? what the shell are you
|
||||
going on about? come on, let's go see
|
||||
what clothes are new."
|
||||
|
||||
you're sitting on that bench.
|
||||
you pretend not to see me, absorbed in your phone.
|
||||
my twin hearts clench.
|
||||
|
||||
my love will go unrequited. you apologize
|
||||
as you shake your head. you already have a boyfriend.
|
||||
one heart breaks over a plate of fries
|
||||
|
||||
and the other expected nothing less.
|
||||
|
||||
sirens blare in the distance far off, signaling to hide,
|
||||
and you take my arm, this dual-core machine I am
|
||||
on all threads as you pull me inside.
|
||||
|
||||
there are storm clouds on the horizon,
|
||||
what used to run in my veins
|
||||
a million times the poison.
|
||||
|
||||
[the moon pulses red](https://web.archive.org/web/20200711151636/https://countess-radfem.tumblr.com/post/622747210454564864/tjagbo-closer-than-ever-2020),
|
||||
the same color as the crown
|
||||
that weighs heavy on my head.
|
||||
|
||||
the blood spills over the terraformed land,
|
||||
and for a second, I think myself
|
||||
brave enough to take your hand.
|
||||
|
||||
but it's just another mess that cleans itself up
|
||||
in the end, no more harmful than
|
||||
my stomach's churning ketchup.
|
||||
|
||||
the sky was already growing dark.
|
||||
too early: this exit I cannot halt.
|
||||
|
||||
as slip away the last throes of this dream,
|
||||
I reassure myself that you wait on the other side of the screen
|
||||
for you are the soft sunrise I can't wait to see
