Let's disappear

LET’S DISAPPEAR (E A D G B E)

How could I not want to be with you? Face to the sky holding a tissue.

How could I not fixate on the difference? A hole in the earth. A cupboard in the kitchen.

I felt the razorblades fall from the sky just like you said they would.

 

Where could we be except where they found us? A crowded carpark. Asleep in the ocean.

And suddenly nothing made a difference. But something had shifted. An unmeasurable distance.

I felt the blades of grass below your feet, your knees, your rosy cheeks. And I wondered: would I ever have to say anything?

 

And I wondered: would I ever have to speak again?

To understand the falls, the burns, the scrapes, the tears.

Let’s close our mouths and disappear.

Let’s close our mouths and disappear.
