unknown

"unknown"

tonight, you will see the stars
and they'll hang and look as meaningless
as you'd hope i'd be.
i think it's the seizures.

the liquid in my skin shifts with
an inviting cold.
i look down, and separate the ground
and find hands of angels and
fists of lost lovers.

they're sleeping right
below you
and it's okay
because i know you've felt
this way before.

it's a long way down, deeper below
the words spoken mean
more than the things we say.

don't wake me up, just let the light
stretch across my face.
