when I eat dirt

I look you in the eye

and I see you see me

eat dirt

and when I say a word

the sound waves

touch your face

and light up your brain

you twitch in a way

that says okay

and then I say okay

we take a breath

and jump into a kiddie pool

full of leaves and moss

it smells like plastic

and mould

this isn’t a dream

you say you deserve better

as if I haven’t heard that before

as if I haven’t heard that before

from you,

you and your toy boat

lodged in the sink

I need to get out of this square

we built for feelings:

two floodlights pouring

into the sky

a text message, a supernova

or maybe a satellite,

the world or maybe

an avocado husk

I dropped my ring

beside your bed in the dark

you looked for it

and said, oh no another poem
