unmistaken

nap dream 3.09.10

i've carried you with my affections around the sun two times. and maybe the third will be the charm. i'm following a threadlike, strong orbital path, and i can see stars and celestial bodies all around me. it's all the same gravity, so why does mine have to seem muted? it's not in my control ...

i get this strange, jealous feeling inside of me. it comes in waves at a time and usually by night i am drowning. all the pretty things i think of saying to you i end up spilling off my tongue to boys who happen to be nearby. and there's so many feelings, sometimes i have to stow them away, hibernating in pools of ink.

seeking out your feet in every cement bench, it's you i want.

sometimes my wants are like venus fly traps, but most of the time they're just little clovers with weak stamens.
