Outside







you are a slow moving pendulum   

caught-up in my hindsight   

a web tangled misconception   
wrapped around the stem cells   
of every illusion I never want to let go of   
a dream weaver, fighting my nightmares   
    
the seconds falling into dust     
an air spirit between my ribs   
all of the wishes I forgot to make   
because everything else got in the way   
the flesh on my bones, my blood...   
    
skin that tortures so eloquently     
fragile fixation, fading in and out   
sometimes, I am just a ghost   
and you are the tangible part of me   
    
my corporeal weight.  I am immortal   
without those broken parts     
the stars in my veins are still with you
