~Discarded~

"A dream is what makes people
 love even when it's painful,"-Theodore Zevin

the line
keeps moving
and I
keep stepping
over let's
call it
a spade
and be done
with it

not knowing
keeps a
healthy distance
I like
a name
with a
long constant 
untouchable grinning
like a dolphin

through coffee
stained teeth
love is
for the
discarded

sometimes it's
better to
let go
then to
have it
drag you
under then
to have
it drag
you under

touching skin
these new
tricks new
sensations

there is
always going
to be
sunshine always
always going
to be rain

tangled fan
of leaves
lead to
your heart
