I was swimming in your dreams
drop in my stomach,
for when we found the ground
didn’t see it coming,
couldn’t see you coming
I swallowed impermanence
when you fed it to me
closed my eyes to float free
but you tethered me
argued we meant nothing
not to each other
the earth was a small sigh
in an empty street
now the night is a chaser
washing down stars
she said no one can hear me
but her words hit like bombs.
