may you

may you see depression

before it sees you

 

the black of the eye

does not stop

the eye from seeing

 

find your light and

go there while you can

 

bathe in it

expand it

let others freely

in…

 

depression cannot stand

you

vapid

I forgot everything so I could remember. I forgot the world forgot what happened forgot my name just forgot. The dreams pushed my eyes across the oily undersides of my lids, the eye movement was rapid, the nightmares were vapid. No one could hurt me anymore and neither could I neither could I neither could I.

eyelashes

one day
when words
are no longer in fashion
i will reach out
to you
in an illicit crossing
of eyelashes
