I will chase your ghosts

on google,

search out your face

in every pixel,

pocket the sparks

your wit threw into the corners.

It is as if you have
lived five times over,
moving from mountain to mountain,
carrying our hearts on top of your own.

Here.

 

Take this.

Break this.

I must hear it

shattering.

 

Now.

 

Stand on it.

Grind into it.

Make the goddamn

dust sing.

my hands
are not big enough
to clasp
these prayers,
my tongue
not loose enough
to grasp
them either.
the world is just too full
right now
