bone and bliss

the following is a trend that rends an end.

you are nothing more

than a taped together

collection of meat

and bone

and bliss

and smiles

and stars that passed

into more than nothing

from horizons

instead of making my way

to sit with them

radiating laughter

and ensuring that on the edge

they are less alone

to date you

because of what you

might write

she said

and i told her

we are all dreaming

about one day waking up

without the need to sleep

in the discomfort of all we are
