hell o go od bye

i am very kind

you fucker

though you are nicer for listening

shut up

to a person as personless as me

tell them about me

you see, i’ve been many people

tell them about us

and have said goodbye to many people

tell them how you killed your kin

and have done many things

you’re still not sorry

though there’s always room to do more

you stuffed him in the crawlspace

for in this world there is only love and beloved

you stabbed his heart

because the world is not made of rock

isn’t the stone going to be cold to touch

or trees

and the wood will give me splinters

or sky

there are no windows

or water

i wet myself, brother

there are only relationships between

he scratched to the outside for days

and the bonds that connect them

he tried to yell your name

that connect us to them

you blamed it on the mice

that connect us to the beyond

exterminators said the house will have to be emptied

to fill the nothingness

hydrogen cyanide

with that which can only be said by us

and which can’t
