the world

was born

from violence

it took the

aftermath of the universe

to create kindness

to create you

who chooses

to be soft

to the baby

of the world

i am uncertain

if it is comforting

that no matter what

i do

tomorrow will come

even if i do not

stuck slopping uncomfortable

in the only certainty

there is

*

my feelings belong

to no one

save for me

but please

save me

from my feelings

*

i am on a dead horse that

asks me to come home

and remember the fields

that held us both

but that didn’t leave

us stuck here

waiting for life

*

you will not find love

you will find bits of it

and if lucky

bites of it

in a person who is rarely right

and as a result

incredibly rare

to find
