cold steel got love
by Katya Mills
i remember this well. the cold steel in your eyes reflected off the glass of high rise buildings and bottlecaps rolled flat into the street. in opposition to the glossy sky, the kinda deep blue you rarely see anymore in a city. we got together around the time Drake cut his first album which went viral before viral was an expression. the best album. life got crazy for us back then, the whole of us, maybe a core of ten or twenty related intrinsically to a greater constellation, maybe fifty or sixty or more popping off the skin of the larger community. a bunch of anti-establishment mad motherfuckers with nowhere to go just live for today. you won me over quickly, at a time when i was in a lot of pain, my cousin had died, i couldn’t make the funeral, my job was hell and life was like a bad breakup. your life was hell and we both knew nothing of a future until it appeared and it was us. something special had arrived. sometimes Hollywood comes out of nowhere, anywhere, thin air like. now Hollywood is Hollywood and behind the scenes it’s all one giant character assassination. but it’s a damn good show if that’s what it takes to create it. you cannot help but fall in love with it. everything decompensates around it. between us we formed a concept. it was our little secret and there could be no dissent. when you feel this, you know this. magic. real end of the rainbow shit. storybook status. like we already made history, before we made it. cold steel got love like us. cold steel got love.
the crows fight the wind for me
and my burrito in this corazón of cloudy misty sea
far from our valley of perpetual
sunshine where down moods
cannot anchor
you asked for a kiss
and i gave
#katyamills
pushing through a friday
cabbage and coffee grounds
span of paperwork cuts of dark
chocolate. don’t know how don’t know
why i cannot stop loving
you
#katyamills
come by tunnels i
surf the channels
to find you
come by rainbows i
arc out over the city
just to see you i
come by wheels
waves
encrypted ring
tones
i come by sign
language
just 2 be by
your side
#katyamills
i want only to live my life and let you go, please, may i have the courage to walk away and wish you well, healing and happiness and all the things cash cannot buy. no matter how many phone numbers are blocked, hurtful text messages deleted, email addresses registered as spam; no matter how many doors i lock and photos i delete and letters i recycle, nothing changes unless i settle with myself. yes i am branded, yes i wear your imprint on my heart. and how can i regret, what with all the goodness you gave me before we fell out? those moments in love were unbelievable. i am incredulous, shocked, having lost you. years have passed and still you find a way to me. to hurt me some more with the painful rewriting of our history. please forgive me, but i must for my spirit and forever walk away from you. when i remember you, i promise to try and remember when you were the greatest. we were the best and for a second. no one will remember but us, the flash the spark we were and then were over. and now i say goodbye. and i love you.
i took the m-path
out of the city, today
i took the blue line
just to see you, okay
just to see you
just to be with you
i took the m-path
I can love you
seven. eight
days a week
our love
in / of
impossible
unique
regenerates
the snake
a nation
beneath
the lake
a question mark formed
around the life form
inside of us
thirty-two seconds
to unconditional
a timeless future awaits
spirits on dates
drifting down rivers
of corrugate
glue
heartbleed city
who knew
zero
balanced
degenerative
yearning for the night
predawn of artificial light
candles. burning
lifetime supplication
in / of oxygen
fall asleep breathing
in / of love
impossible unique
not the same old narrative on a fog bank overdrawn
yawn
take all the pictures
marry them silently
passionately
take all the i’s (before e’s)
teach them selfless living
strange to suddenly see
receipts of deceits returned
to the store
strange!
impossible unique
strange / dear god!
so suddenly free
impossible
unique
no longer above
no longer below
candle wax flow in
and of love
i am looking for
someone
to have and
to hold and
to crush
on to death do
we part
i am self
i am self seeking
someone
to make me
whole to make me
dinner
i am interested in
a pharmaceutical
beauty
a cutey
a cut above the rest
a pillcutting
precision marching
prisoner of love
a chain gang
related
peptide talking
walking atomic
wonder
free from mistakes
because
God never blunders
i am looking for you
and i get what i want
you will love my decision
toward your realized
captivity
some day
when i tire of
your birdcage delivery
i will set you free cause
i love you so
free you
so
hide !
