Inspiration from Christopher Wool & Eileen Myles

angel

I suppose
I’m afraid
of forever
I close
my eyes
& it’s intense
it’s beginning
inside me
I’m trying
to clear the deck
to get to
this
yawning simplicity
it’s something
different
in the dark
how many times
could I
move the dot
back to
hear him say
there was
so much
more of it
& there is
will you love
me forever
for this
my simple
fear
my fear of the
dark gives
me something
to say
it descends
& I wake
each glimpse
like a tiny
star of
the other
side
when I
was alive
