you cannot howl like the wolf
fly like a bird
swim like a whale

but you can scream
jump off a mountain
sink deep into the ocean.

Tell me

Why are there no stars
on the other side
of the world

Why does the air I breathe
make me feel sick
to my stomach

Why does sleep make me feel tired
and being awake helpless

I was promised so much more
but what are promises for in the first place
when there's no blue blue sky
to hold me tight
and to whisper
everything will be alright

one time

once, i met a girl,

who wasn't you.

love is a strong word,

i'll never use.

but i used her.

i don't remember the rest.

like that, gone

if i sustain this pain
one more night and day
i can manage being the martyr
in our picture-book plot.

if it costs all
of my heart's savings
for you to lick your thumb
and tab our page, i'll sign it away,
like that,
gone

the mystery of four, the devil, love. transient being
