NOT AS PRETTY IRL 

I was sitting                 a phone looking 
           selfies myself & how i really loathe 
how obsessed                      I am trying to find balance 
            between what is love and what is fixation of 
a blurred image i see my hands when 
            I look at them i feel until         I look away I am 
no longer there          a ghost a wolf a little creeper 
            digging night down into me I know the mind manifests 
& what it is to keep my mouth open 
            suggestive that I breathe 

 

SIMULATION OF TWO PLANETS COLLIDING

ambiguous message 
seeing sandhill cranes
every I go 
I am feeling 

variable he said 

if it makes sense
my simulation

two planets colliding
no further pass
destruction
