pee(p)

i’ll be a minute

one second

just need to go to the bathroom

to make that smile once more

that feeling of being filled with light

generous warmth

that eats into me

devours me

consumes my body whole

for i have let you in again

to knowingly and timelessly

ruin my life once more

*

they will tell you it was love

and they were right

it was

*

what is left now

but the stars that were there

on the first night we kissed

peeping and gossiping

riding light and laughter

no longer hanging like feet

in the same dead place

on to the unsettled universe

else where

away from this
