my mother wrote in a black and white journal, “my boy smiles when he hears me sing” and “i hope he never stops smiling.” i’m going to thread these words into the soft flesh next to my heart. my mother has shaped me into this spirit that’s trying to embody my love that I have left to give. My mother wrote in A black and white journal The date of the very first time I had ever laughed It was my first day on earth. Underneath that you wrote I hope he always laughs

i’m going to write poems about the way you dance to your favorite songs on the surface of balloons and let them go into the air. The god damn trees keep popping them because something about the winter doesn’t let my lungs breath. I don’t know how to play the drums but I can improvise With my tiny fingers and this giant wooden desk. I don’t know how to fall in love but I can improvise With my puny heart and my dog Every time I shake at night, I wonder about your bones hope they’re doing fine nestled into blankets. 2 months is too long to spend alone in my head ive been having conversations with that picture of the cat the one that you sent when I was bummed out Idk how to play the drums but I can improvise with my feet and laps. Idk how to fall in love but I can improvise by watching you dance.

caffeine 02:00
I nod my head when I am anxious I drink your favorite coffee When I am nervous And maybe that’s why my heart Is punching its way out of my chest But I have to admit the blend reminds me Of the shade in your eyes I can’t believe I just sang this in a song I apologize. I’m tired of judging myself for all of my thoughts But maybe tonight I can be proud of my potential And fall asleep alright and wake up before the moon Decides to hide behind the clouds I love

insects 01:06
spiders crawling on my neck moths eating through my skin lady bugs ingest my fingers maggots living in my brain butterflies eating through my heart insects love the children who are too scared to tell their jokes the ones who can’t follow through the kids who can’t fall asleep I’m 19 going on 10 Everything is scary and I miss my mom
