Description
they cut out my brain.left it there on the floor,
covered in polaroid pictures, and left to the wolves.
and they told me that everything would be O.K.
I read an old book,
dusty, dank, and filled with truths.
and between the lines were other lines, reading -
"It's about time we try defying gravity,
float above hemispheres, rise above oceans, drift over skylines,
fly over unknown lands, to North Carolina"
in the woods I found a wolf
a wonderful, amazing, kind wolf,
with hazel-blue eyes.
and he breathed life,
and he spoke soft, soft truths,
and he told me
"I think it's about time we try defying gravity - move oceans, melt souls, destroy state lines,
and just lose all care in the world."
and I pondered the feeling,
of floating on air.
and I realized what it's like,
to be a puddle.
and I'm not
made of invisible.
not made of glass, or otherwise.
but I am
made of rain.

I really love how the words are kind of scattered about like a handful of old polaroids. Your use of spacing and structure is fascinating and fantastic! I really enjoy your style. (Also, I used your title in a piece of 'title poetry')

Hey, want a lit tag? I can make you one! If you do want one, tell me a color you would like in it, and I'll see if I can whip something up.

Lit tag? Dunno what that is. But it sounds interesting!
Hmm... color. Blue? Aquamarine perhaps?

abstraction, paint, tears, leaps, springs, notes, words, everything.
