You're with me
my god
how many times was it too late
and how long has it been hopeless
i know just leave it
come on let’s leave
instead let’s go
over the text
which i don’t even understand
but it feels sad
with all its conditionals and past tenses
let’s get lost
look for each other
in our questions
about where we are
in wildfires
in cyanide pollution
in forest clearing
in our mutually exclusively needs
in the humorless passing of time
let’s go
until the cruise ship captain
announces that we’ve just arrived
at the dolphins’ habitat
and a blond retiree finally
fills a pink straw hat
with her vomit
let the meaning shine
above our heads
which we can’t look
at directly
let’s go only forward
crawling over scattered gray blocks of
worn sentence structures
with great effort
if upon touching the imprint of leaves in the concrete
never to ask where the birch forest is in summer hailstorms
just bring your movements
let’s go
to the edge of the text
toward the exit
walking in unison silently
with dry eyes
a cool tempo
as the
flower falling out of the window
sinking white thought in the brain of depth
in this sentence
in which everything is like
what nothing is in others
let’s go like this
because i know
as much about you
as blind men do about shadows
you’re with me
