This corner is where our days have piled
I’ve put hairs there which I pulled out by the follicle
Are you alive? With dust on your eyes,
I pull open your shirt just to see…
But there is no breathing, there’s no heart beating
I’d like to see you bleed, but I have nothing sharp to try
I am an empty house on a Cliffside in a landslide and by now….
You’ve sank into the sky
You froze in the snow fifteen years ago
Now I slant out the window to watch you pile up below
Sometimes as the chimney, I spew out hot air
Lately I’m the bedspread and you are still up in here
Eating at my skin like a termite
And even my insides wouldn’t satiate your appetite
I call to you to stop as my bones groan
“Take your memories, and leave this hollow home”
Still I have been loved like a child all of my life
And you have given me nothing mild
Is this the most that we could be?
You left the garden while I waited on the balcony
But I believe in ghosts with my faith innermost
Safe and stable, at least they stay inside
But you are the clouds I cannot own
For that you have no value and I have no hands to hold
You are above the atmosphere,
If I go looking for you, will you be there?
