the ground slides out from underneath me
the air, vacuuming out my soul
leaving my skin cold and my eyes dry
as i type the words
back and forth, the screen flashing
the lights go off and my mind is dark
as my hand clicks slowly
i open the image-
her & him-
her: everyone has one and has to deal with one.
him: the unknown that is paired to her.
And I can't stand it. Looking at the photo
I burst.
My seams gracefully destroying
themselves, leaving what seem to be
scraps of remsorse.
And I can't stand her smile
or the empty words, blinking
in faded boxes
I just want the words to burn
into the ground
beneath my galloping hooves.
