soulcore


outside in the weather
I remember when my soul slipped
inky and black like a comma
so I tied to to my toe 
like wendy's shadow 

wearing pants with a waist that exactly fits mine 
making a ring around me
my elbows on the glass table
a single black crow flies reflected across

in disobedięnce a song
about luring your soul back
with bits of black
licorice candy 
like a black bird

there is an asterisk 
next to that girl for me
am I being small, 
or instinct?
attempt to go right towards it 
in hopes it melts
generous, or strategic?
and still touch
a subtle ice there

dream in which you say
I don't even know 
what your life
really looks like!
implying
an emptiness? 


ups

zoom therapy in the living room
the sunlight lasts longer in here
but I don't want to look at this

ups driver outside listening to a radio show 
ft. a woman crying on full volume 
out the doorless truck
