if i were to collect the essentials
the biggest hits
the bits and pieces
i’ve left for
well, anyone
they would look like color
and words and pixels
i’ve danced and dragged across the page
it would look like
a blade sliding smoothly through matboard
glass breaking on a clean edge
the shatter of the discarded piece
�
it would be the smell of snow
and the sound of that one bird
it would look like ink and blood
scar tissue and paint
it would be the kiss of a sea breeze
hello, goodbye
�
i love you
�
it would be that feeling in my heart
when you make that face
or how your hand feels like home
and your words like an old friend
�
oh they would be lovely
the bits and pieces
the rocks and bones and candles
the way a lizard moves
the silence before the world wakes
i think i’ll keep them
under the big evergreen
Congratulations 🎉💐
