Today I want to fall in love
with strangers.
I want to bathe myself
in the smell of rain on tarmac
and kiss my friends.
I want to unravel my brain;
read my story
and roller-skate on the sea.
I want to see the world.
But only the good bits.
I want to help those in need
to make myself
feel
better.
But today it feels like I have to remind myself to breathe.
I sewed the hems of the trousers you never wore.
I filled the silence.
I broke it.
You didn't break my heart,
you broke everything else.
There is no border.
There was something strange about
that night.
Your face was symmetrical.
Tomorrow, maybe.
