A new aubade— the midnight streets wake up
to new silence. His door breaks open now.
I see him when my chest is splitting up
and tell him that the sky is darker now.
This liquor tastes like poison burning down
the throat. And still I let it enter me.
The floor feels softer when I’m falling down.
His silhouette looks like a knife to me
in this light. His breath is softer than mine
in this silence. I wish this wasn’t in
my mind. I’ve never got to call him ‘mine.’
This night is the only body I let in.
The midnight streets wake up to new repeating.
Why do I feel like I’m always repeating?
to new silence. His door breaks open now.
I see him when my chest is splitting up
and tell him that the sky is darker now.
This liquor tastes like poison burning down
the throat. And still I let it enter me.
The floor feels softer when I’m falling down.
His silhouette looks like a knife to me
in this light. His breath is softer than mine
in this silence. I wish this wasn’t in
my mind. I’ve never got to call him ‘mine.’
This night is the only body I let in.
The midnight streets wake up to new repeating.
Why do I feel like I’m always repeating?
