see? it evaporated.

I just looked at a lot of really lovely things,
and christ I'm just wading through the waters.
I see why people revert.
I see why people stay inside of their rooms.
There is more magic in there
and in their hearts than is recognizable
or communicable through conversation with even the most charming of folks.

I know that underneath everything on top, there are bones. That I own.

you do not.
own them like i own them
although you feel them in your sleep
and i let you see certain things
that you can see
but you are leaving full jars of water on
my sills
and there are no filters to be found
in any of your bags or my bags
or under the bed because it is bolted to the floor
and you roll off when you get too bored.
