Hollow-Thunk Love
deep despicable entity oh how you spite me
to feel this in your core on a microscopic level
ions neutrons atoms molecules
serotonin receptors collapse beneath burden
like structures made from sugar
every little epicenter jounces with it
resonating startling familiarity
and it is stupid hollow-thunk love
air dense and reeking with humidity
fresh virginal unused
it smells like careless chlorination
a swimming pool tryst among fallen leaves
acid alternative enunciations
we leave our footprints on the windows
and we know when to leave
and we know what to say
and we know what to do
blunt deliberate allusions to the holocaust
cigarettes burnt way beyond the filter
letters to a baby that was never born
amounts too sickening to acknowledge
it gets warmer
and i get darker
