Lost

by Nic Alea

"I pull over to let us both cry,

that is

somehow significant to the ways we unzip and walk out of our bodies."

"once i had a window sill for a mouth, it was open without reason, punched glass, terrible nightmares, how i twist in my sleep, i want to show you, how i wake up tired, you already know, how my heart breaks at the sight of a rusted fire escape, the rain got to it before i could, before i could go down low, before i was a potted plant, a forgotten garden, how there’s breath still in us even when the sun has pulled out the deepest sigh."

Nic Alea, "in the coffee shop at 7am"
