laundry television

I fell through myself
And I slid through my bones
I emptied my veins
I emptied my brain

I dropped every contour
Of every wicked syllable
I erased every page
And I washed them away

I unwrapped the steel links
They crashed through the floor

What an airless weight

For heiroglyphic slates

I unraveled every emerald
And I kept one for you
Their edges, away

But I want yours to stay

Every space that I kept
Disappeared with the wind
they all blew away
They all moved away

Now my eyelids hold peace
Instead of uneasy waves
I float through the sea
But don't belong to the sea

I used to see liquids
Now I think in only swirls
I blend with ink and water,

You make me ink and water

The night will coax you out
With a finger or a nod
And lead you through trails

That only bring you trails

I fell through myself
And I slid through my bones
But you kept me inside,

You let me inside.
