sometimes heat can be bitter

spent a full few years
skating on ice
even when the snow
stops and the ice
gives a little bit
the taste of nicotine
could never take him
away.

he dreamed of the future
other seasons and
adventures
with the windows down
breathing in the
scent of somewhere else.

but to never see
the snow fall again...

death: the act of not living.

not being decisive
and walking through
the bleached streets
with my arm in an
arm with nothing behind
us but our shadows
not even our shadows
never stopping my swim
for a breath of air
never riding the wave into
shore
never feeling the cold
sting of nothing
burrowing into my spine
during the blackest of
never
or not now
never holding a flame
too close to the wax
all for the sake
of never waking up.

and don't ever stare into darkness

don't look at it for
too long
you might break it

do not eat what
you are fed
you will not make it

don't stand on
that too long
it strips you naked

don't throw yourself
away
you are sacred
