speak of me as if i am already dead
speak of my slight convulsions in bed,
please do not forget to check on me
it gets sad spending so much time in my head
you may treat me as a ghost, rotten,
blistering into a numb grief
and it's crippling, how beautiful we are in the morning

there is always the losing of a smile, it prickles skin
a slight needle
spreading negative space you
call yourself a disappointed dream

consider your family--
contemplate their outgoings,
pregnant with age

and i realize the virginity of my future
or, the space around it

it's been circulating around school that you have become lonely,
become fine.
