there's something i don't like about
this
sitting in the chair
watching him remove his sweater
and you check my facial expression
every moment

it is hard
to know that this
is not my future

you are not me any more
i am farther away
safe beyond a boundary

i have created

let me lie
on the sand
and never speak a word again
the sun will
understand
me
the sun will
soak up my
bones
