Imagination at its Darkest

In my town kids like me ripped the legs off of spiders
To watch the way that they’d squirm
Play ground filled with broken bodies
As children chased each other covered in dirt
Fearful that their legs would break right off
As punishment for what God had seen us doing
The older we got the more disembodied we became
Our hearts picked apart by the monkey bars
Our tongues disconnected by the swings
And when we were all undone at the seams
We played Doctor at our desks
Pasted leg to body heart to body tongue to body
Never waiting long enough for the glue to dry
We could never leave each other whole
We stuck our tweezers in every open chest
Dissecting the soul to find the parts that were rotting
Aware that our roots were just growing
Further into that place of pain
Deeper into that mass casualty grave

She gives me the moon and the stars
She slips them around my finger
So I’ll think of her when I see them dancing
So the night sky will bring her to my mind
This way her essence is always in my presence
This way my hand gives home to a piece of her
It holds onto the light in her eyes
It is held by her crescent smile
She smiles with eyes lit like moonlight cast on crystal waters
She turns the night sky into a catalyst
It screws with the chemicals of the heart
It starts fires inside of my chest
Telling me that I am capable of loving someone so fully
Telling me that she’ll never stop making me melt
Making me feel things that I’ve never felt
Making me wish constantly for her gravity
Loving her is so weightless
Loving her makes me feel like I am floating
I am entranced by her beauty
I am enthralled by her spirit
My mind is full of her like the sky is full of stars
My heart holds on to her like the sky holds onto the moon

She is teaching me
How to really love people
By how she loves me

Sometimes
In the middle of the night
When the unknown has woken me
I try to reach out to people back home
No one picks up their phone
I start to feel so afraid
Thinking that they’ve all disappeared
That the whole town went quietly
It turned to ash with no one noticing
Or it drifted into the sea
Sank so silently no one heard a thing
While I’m stuck here starring at a screen
That will never talk to me in return

I want to grab her

By the collar of her coat

And kiss her gently
