Description
you, Mia, were
brown hair
curious
shirt oversized
chibi cthulhu
i was
table locked
typewriter focused
you were
carnival barked
into testing
the waters
[and what is it you dream about
when sleeping so deep
tendrils curled around yourself
holding your ancient secrets]
i don’t know if you were really interested
in spending $5
or were humoring the maniac
behind the clicking keys
[holding your own ancient body
against the cold sea
are you alone in the dreams you walk in?
or do we walk with you?]
saw you walking
looping the tables
but never returning
[do you call all the sensitives?
poets
dreamers
all the tragic lovers
to walk with you
dream with you so you are less alone?]
i wouldn’t call it a loss
i wrote the poem regardless
i held it in my hand
[your love is madness
you share it only in sleep
and we are waiting]
and maybe you will see this
reach out
and retrieve what’s yours.
