themisto
anxious words with anxious gestures. in and out fox hide, drowsy eyes. gift shop showing for bed covers. water between two foreheads, homage to elongated embrace. Themisto, the loner moon, twenty five years missing. its own orbit strung out over the time it took to reconnect. did the places it saw let it recollect and infiltrate, or did it come back the same mangled shape it was when it left? familiarity of a room where posters are the only ones who would stare back. i've struggled with the lines of your face. skewed to become an accessory to muscle palpitations. fade-proof ball point lines, lines, lines; on the table. cocaine conversations on the floor. Lasting Sentimental Discrepancies of swollen feet feelings on dirt ground garbage city paths. swinging like a barrel of monkeys, grass trailed up and said trust what's found sleeping on cat piss couches, and jealousy of conversations at the top of graffiti staircases. five am sprints to say sorry.
