you cannot know them
sealed inside an envelope they
will cut you like paper they
are shredded beyond repair
you wish you could reach them you
wish to have them for tea
locked inside a trauma they
will cut you by accident they
are secretive. precise with words
senseless must they be
alone
#katyamills
all the darkness
when the light
breaks
#katyamills
she so direct she
unabashed she so direct
no foreplay. you
overexposed and she
over you and your
bullshit. touch your soles
2 the floor get real. she will
collect your spirits
and stretch them if
you dare 2 let her
in
#katyamills
fires surround this city
at the cross of two rivers
in this belly
lives a fire
too
crossing of
artery and vein
#katyamills
the lashes defended our eyes
from snowy ashes
in 72 hours across california
over 10,000 lightning strikes
over 300 fires
we dropped orange
dystopian tracks they
could not defend
us from tears
#katyamills
my friends they
all died of broken
hearts
or traded them in
for junk
i took mine to
the shop for
repairs
not what it was
when i first fell
in love but it
runs
#katyamills
the horn section bursting
set up a break against the
fire
the reeds supple
like fingers
even the concrete got
to feeling. our feet
left gooey indents in
the road
a new kinda hollywood
where everyone’s
a star
#katyamills
one eleven scorching hot one
ten wasn’t enough one
eleven the power grid got crushed
the block goes dark
all the people complain
luddite for a night so
what. wired so long
can’t remember your
name
#katyamills
we wanted change so bad. an end to the dying. an end to the killings and denial. a magical awakening for those who are thoughtless. deluded. without feeling. i once was the same. fuck all anyone could have done to move me
today we gave 11
hearts away
to the fighters
and
a fake smile for the
disbeliever
#katyamills
K IS SILENT
