I will rename the stars
after these scars, after vinegar
blood and the fallacy of you
and other type b indiscretions
and lay around
wishing I was high
and able to choke
on all the words that have fallen between us-
take my last borrowed breath
and fall into obscurity
for good.
I think maybe u are forgetting all about me
kissing another girl with ur mouth wide open
under big umbrellas in the rain
fish-hooked tongues and
warm saliva
and other imbellishments.
but I don't care
because u are just another plasma-phantom
in the rotating wheel-
and I'm in bold enough to
leave alone
leave u alone
and struggle flawlessly
in the atmosphere
without ur rope.
