Shrine for Every Part of You
       

In discord

We can't be any other way

to break out of this house
you have to first break in

the holy ash scattered on the floor

Imagine a good argument

now imagine the deepest blue of peace
In absence, waiting all day for night

In a cabinet with six farewell letters
In an oceanic bathtub
to wail over coins
to heal with water and sleep

sympathetically
in our separate rooms
with forested bodies
and an eagerness for silence
