a relationship at a distance

her crane legs

constructing the city

with a meaning

that wades through the water

of air

heavy with tears

that have since evaporated

into the summer

shaved on her skin

where she sees me

shakes

and turns to the sun setting

into hesitant horizon

*

a good poem

contains all of it

for the poetry

of all of it

is contained in good

*

me killing me

is playing it safe

from finding out

that in i is a want

to not die

with i

and my safety

*

never lose

the fight

against never

*

be mad

not made
