9

the first time i slept next to you
i was amazed by your stillness

breeding mosquitoes
with your lakes

i could die slowly, i could eat glass
but only if you are there
and sighing a little

8

through inductive reasoning
i learned that if i apologized to you, i would get a response

i couldn't move you

i wanted you to wash up like a frozen baby mammoth
i wanted to unfreeze you so that you could finally walk away
