my disappearances
correlate with the season
of her becoming,
my presence
with her decay,
no #happenstance
in our intertwining,
the fracturing
of our coalescence
is an ontology
laid out on sheets
solidified in dye,
my breath
a weave
of her cosmology

beings
signified
meanings
embodied
phenomena
felt
in dreams
SIGHT
for the first time
her eyes within me
like the void my mind
crawled out of
darkness,
a t ug ggg innnggggg
the color of sound—
#crimson dinging
& pools of stone
i write
to survive
i write
so she
may never die

I’m in a toxic relationship with my fracturing, loathe it like the drought, love it cuz I couldn’t withstand year-round rains.
A note from a stranger read:
"pain and ease are partners”
then the cat that once avoided me
hopped over to lick my toes
and curl up against my cast
