ríos
throw me in the river,
sever my brittle heart.
it’ll never be the same
as long as they’re apart.
i smell the lanolin
that the old woman burned.
she speaks nothing,
but her husband she has yearned.
but, through it all,
i speak of nothing true.
for there is nothing in the sky –
nothing waiting in the blue.
how long must we wait
for this never-ending cycle?
there is nothing so uncouth –
there is nothing in the title.
see me in the mirror –
see it with my eyes.
i can see the superficial –
i watch it with despise.
these are lingering tears uncried
for these tears are undefined.
you shall see the evanescence
when you can see no other mind.
