8.8.13

Oil and Water


Your skin is left on my pillows
All the while I am sniffing them
And pretending to be apathetic

Oxygen and nitrogen surrounding me
And they flow into my mouth as though
Being sucked through a cheap red straw

Here I dreamt I was free, yet again
Breathing air through my whole mouth
And kissing you with both lips

But I am eternally a glass half empty
There is no thing as a whole person
Like oil and water, we mix only when shaken

Best,

Anna Belle Lee
