kiss from a judas

something in the air
was wrong.

shifting,
warm,
fried and floral.

i drove
at dawn
listening to concerning eye

remembered how you laughed
like you've never been
scared
before.

it was never the same
after the accident...
you professed
love
for a god
you didn't even acknowledge
the week before

a blanket,
a ruse.

forced the harvest hand;
and the lost
always
find a way
to become a loss

you weren't one for goodbyes
just some really good stories left behind
some books you called friends
some paintings you called children

words.
words.
words.
words never saved a fucking thing
not anyone,
not mine, yours
or theirs.

it was another day
just a happy song
broken into sad parts
as i drove
into
the dusk.

How can you forget when the pain is so exquisite you can't help but to remember?

the title means more when you open your eyes and see that your past is stalking your present to ruin your future

REGRESS

number 12, crimson.
black x return
safe circadian discourse
underscore
sugar coated sugar
the sardine resurgent
drawing a cut hand
12 p.m. dropoff, 5 a.m. pickup
the cost of brevity
keep the car running
