(no subject)
so i'm here: that is enough for now.
this may take all night, and i'm hoping it will,
because i'm afraid i won't wake up this time.
it's been along days and weeks coming
and when i ask you how much you've had to drink
you never say "enough" although that's always
the answer but your answer
is enough, just cuz it's yours. i'll have to take it.
the ride is over (it went two months) and now
i'm starting to find my footing, a bit,
except every time i see a cardinal flying
i try to dye my wings red, until i see a bluebird, or a dove,
and then i'm just forever on the ground surrounded by paint cans
shades of red and blue and white spilling on the concrete
spelling baby blue and spelling orange and pink and purple
all over me, but nothing takes too well to black
layers over layers are sheer but heavy, getting heavier now
and i've never flown anywhere
