I’ve been reading elephant every evening
Paying attention to the paragraph of double dreaming
Head in the clouds but not afraid
Feeling safe in letting you take the weight
But I carry you now
I carry you around
•
You’re wearing sweatshirts in the summer
Because you always feel the cold
I wear mine for different reasons
But it still hurts to know
How your arms have lost all their structure
In the last year or so
You sleep through the morning
Because you’ve forgotten how to function
You never let the light in
It sounds like a metaphor but it isn’t
The mould grows against the windows
The plants are wilting in the afterglow
You’ve left pieces of yourself
Stretched out for miles
I couldn’t retrace those steps
Even if I had the time
Barely making it through the days
Lie in bed losing track of time and spacing…
