did you ever notice the kind of thoughts i've got

[soigne_mache]

i've eaten only white rice and
drunk red wine in your absence.

she tells me i am quiet.
i get annoyed with the sound of my voice if it carries on.
i feel like words i say or thoughts i have are completely irrelevant.
i stutter.
i miss them.
i'm quiet.

without you
i breathe differently.

days pass in your abscence

the shuffling of feet
distances traveled
