i did not want
to sleep i wanted
to stay awake for
as long as i was - friday
would not arrive, faltering
in as i knew it would today is
saturday - like a band aid
pulled too slowly. i feel slow
slow like when tears don't fall
slow like when the rain is high
and not willing. i feel lost inside
like nothing ever happened
and nothing ever will - and all is what
i could never imagine and what i had i
never planned and what i have never
wanted and who i so much need
on thursdays before the rain
before sleep, before words
form in odd frames - to
be safe
on thursdays before the rain
before sleep, before words
form in odd frames - to
be safe
