in the case
that any of us survive, someday i'll tell you
about middle school
and hamlet and amber volakis. but
today i can only say, no more questions
about empty space. everyone secretly
wants their daughters to die. but
if you refuse to
love for no reason
other than faith, i'll do it. after all
there are worse ways
to waste a year than dreaming
pointless dreams about her waist. maybe
it will somehow legitimize
the things that drowned
when you didn't, maybe
it will stop the nightmares
about permanent marker washing
off my back. at least
holding on doesn't make
anyone stop eating. at least
i'm not risking any vital organs.
"maybe love is just a reason to believe in something."
