Back to old scars
reopen clots from seven words ago
unlearn return
subtle signs will hurt before they show

Nurturing some self affliction
with dime novel fractured friction
cradle old laceration
it kills to love this repetition

for time spent long overdue
a gift goodbye unto you

Now you're feeling old scars
reopen clots from seven words ago
unlearn return
subtle signs will hurt before they show

Nurturing some self affliction
with dime novel fractured friction
when the story's read you'll find the pages all torn
from the spine and plastered to your window
drowning light from the day

for time spent long overdue
a gift goodbye unto you, unto me and you

think, thinking something, how long?
never something new
breathe, breathing nothing dead air
piss turned to fumes
think, thinking something, how long?
never something new
be, being nothing, I've found-
something I can do

the long I've spent
forgetting the gift
