i kept calling a name, their name
perhaps the name really started with a snort, a drink?
perhaps that's all we ever really know about a person
their name, but enough about logistics, this is about war, and logic is fleeting in a time of gunfire
i'm talking about my battle with sleep, an hour after the lids finally cap off the day
the sun warms my kicking feet, and reminds me of my time spent south

wake up! if you move your legs raw the parallels of the universe will be revealed
his face, your face, the dent in the side of the crack of that car that when it crashed

wake up!
and i hold the sun by the cheeks and whisper "if I could multiply, i'd show you beauty, but
Oh, let's talk about my mother for a little bit
let's talk about the delicate age of her hands, how hard they look, like lace they feel
let's talk about the contrast of that statement and her voice, like a dagger, even the sweetest sounds
Or maybe the summer time now, maybe the grass that hurts in contrast to the sun.
