I so afraid of bleeding that I forgot I wasn’t just blood
I was so afraid of burning that I forgot whose ashes I carried
I was so afraid that I knew too much about scaring
Scarring

Rooftop club. We meet up there and you trace
Scars with eyes. Reading skin, speaking silence. The sun spoke for us
Burning there on the horizon
Up in flames

I was so angry at the world that I forgot we all turn
I was so angry at myself that I forgot who to be
I was so angry that I knew too much about angering
scaring

Rooftop club. We meet up there and you tug at your hair.
Eyes for lips. Ears for eyes. No mouths
No kisses
Just heated glances. Fretful listening.
The light spoke for us
Climbing over the horizon
Stairs
