An Ode to Chemistry (and Kuz)
May 15, 2014
1.
there is a sea
inside me
I feel it drown
the sailors of
my heart
in your doors
in your home
their screams deafen me
to daylight
by the time the last one fades to sighs
I am a creature of
infinite
mourning.
2.
the air wriggles down my throat
like a spider in the night
and their screams are
so
so
loud
I wriggle too
trying to get comfortable
adjusting in a foreign skin
betrayed by my own body
every organ prickling to
form a cage around
my soul
get out
it says
get out.

Especially several weeks away from exams.
Have you ever been bad at something that somehow gives you the feeling you're bad at everything else?
Yeah.
Me too.
