Description
wandering to escape
the terrible emptiness spilling
from your lips
i took refuge among dissonant voices
scratched into stone
beneath a dam.
as cascading water filled my ears
i read that the town is paper
but the memories are not

and i realized that i too
was made of paper,
torn to shreds but still trying
to catch a wind
on which to blow away.

i could just picture you
standing where i stood, carving
visceral truths for me
to stumble upon someday
and stow away beneath my pillow
or in a locked bottom drawer.
but in reality
you were telling me nothing

so i read on.
i love you said one message.
fuck you said another.
welcome to wonderland said the last.
