Pretend not to remember
the world is a heart
you feel long ago stopped beating,
gave up trying to restart.
Mouth to mouth resuscitation,
your every kiss a scar…
The sun’s a lung to fill in,
moonlight’s mirror breaking again…
It seems like every time you leave
you forget to bring
your turtle-shell umbrella
and chameleon mood ring…
Shaking the cold from your skin,
knock and the world won’t let you in…
Inoculate this sorrow,
cure what’s left to feel.
Follow the mazes in your footprints,
you’re lost standing still,
juggling all these raindrops,
trying not to spill…
Holding your breath underwater,
the aquarium’s landfill...
Your flooding eyes change color,
the world springs back to life
for no other…
