I wish my heart were battery,
disconnected from gut, mind, and privacy
so that way I could eat you up
and feel
honest friendship.
I still like to imagine that I am your selection
but I ‘then again’ realize it’s just recollection
I saw two half heart waves crash upon sea wall
and bitter-tear cried the ocean
She was not resilient
You are non-commitment
and we were nothing but the truth
hidden between secrets of stars—the holders of all history
They can’t be captured, but select the best
Fate can’t be recollected, but cry the worst
Darkness takes me and
space empties me
while time dates me
and I’m left with only that
If you could taste like one thing
what would it be
would it be the taste of ocean salt
just like it crashed at our feet when
our smiles met
and exchanged nothing but air and
licorice
i wouldn’t want that forever
or would you want something sweet
just like the girl you knew you could have had
but you were just afraid she’d rot your teeth
i’m sure you’d want something tangy
like every bite was something refreshing, new
and you didn’t feel like you’d tasted it for too long
yet if she were so tart, it would begin to taste sour
and you couldn’t quite last another hour because
you can’t taste like one thing for
for if i could taste like one thing
i’d want it to be forever
