As if you taught me how to hop again in the middle
of hurricanes and punch tuition, I lost the
stop.
That cancer beating your chest like a second
heart like nothing ever lived when people lined
upwards to see/speak/scratch and no one
heard in the dark the soul in tune
the light of death.
Across London , scanning words to find the tears in the day
for love, you emailed me between the madness and monotony and mould >
right soon,
we’ll write this soon but weight in your cheeks
much rosier now
I can’t turn you white again, with the powder of pounds ground
our hearts, hold on, put them in a pile and we’ll start
a gain feels like something and nothing
when I think about white spaces, white spaces and right foolishness
I never seen you
