the future revisited
I’m keeping my fingers clenched
shaking because of it
I’ve cut my lip on my teeth
I’m tasting blood
but in the moment
it’s as sweet and savory as you
I’ll stand idly by as my apartment
burns
to
the
ground
I don’t want to feel anything again
if it has nothing to do with the truth
so here lies myself
my tomb reads warily
I wouldn’t want to be beside
anyone else
