#long after

[rosszulorzott]

safeworded out of a turn of an email conversation. i'm not sure this is done but i just did it :) it's more than three years after we had last played but we have never dissolved our dynamic formally so the situation is open to interpretation. it's hard to tell how i feel about it until i get a response and i'm excited to see how it will go

Vestigial

Upon the place where two

tendons run parallel from

my open palm — will you

—

meet me there, with your index

finger’s inexorable grace sent

—

gliding so very gently over

mistakes still present long

after their making? Could

—

I hope for such a touch set at

that impiety-gripped location?

@nosebleedclub poetry month challenge 1: long after

[betweenthetimeandsound]

--prompt from @nosebleedclub (1 April)

Long after she headed over towards the seashore, I forgotten if she had existed at all. Her shawl flapped as if she wanted to surrender to the rising waves crashing against her feet, wearing out her toes more than the rock which her sister was chained onto, many years ago.

No krakens exist, just fragments of dust and powdered sugar from just desserts... Just desserts, in a desert of salt.

The breeze picks up, but never strong enough to make a storm out of a beautiful day, with iridescent sunbeams and incandescent heat.

She goes away with the sea lapping up her toes, and a few wet marks on the coastline.

Alone, the waves pick up, closer to me, though distance is my eternal friend.

people talking to headstones the same way they’d talk to the people under them is precisely what is needed to kill me

Long After

The taste of your coffee Is still on my lips Long after you are gone. The feeling of your arms, Hands still on my hips, Long after you are gone. The smell of your hair Is still stuck in the air Long after you are gone. The photos of us Together still remain Long after you are gone. The words you whispered Still ring clear Long after you are gone. The way you make me feel: Whole, complete, safe, loved... Still remain Long after you are gone. CeK // 10;09 pm // I miss you even more than yesterday

long after

the knife marks

etched in the countertops

the crumbs

trapped in the carpet

and the greasy fingerprints

placed upon the sliding glass door

a house of the living

full of imperfect marks

that tell the story of a family

in a silent language

a kind of archeology

studies the history

of people in places with things doing acts

the most nonspecific 

the most particular

all trapped in the past

each choice becomes evidence

and each mistake becomes proof

of the long dead

the short lived

what might have been insignificant

signifies what was

we do not choose what gets to last

we only see what did

and they

those coming

will see what does

an infinity of thoughts 

summed up in four thumbtack

holes in the wall

the poster long fallen

long decomposed

the human works of wear and tear

are distinct from those of nature

so in our artificiality

we may remain

it is killing us

but also

will allow us to survive

long after we die

long after we rot
