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 dollars
or were humering 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.
