the stars struggle against the clouds tonight and
awkwardly,
we stare at anything but each other.
--the end wasn't supposed to be so undefined
two almost-adults grasping for adult words,
because the puff puff pass that has come
to be our language can no longer describe
"the end of an era," you finally say.
--in a different age, in a different life
--if you weren't so laissez faire
--and i wasn't so complicated
i might've needed you to be happy
but i don't need to be happy.
we share no tears, no hugs, no goodbyes.
only a twisted thick acknowledgment
of the history that has come to pass through us.

to flourish is to fall, dust before the wind
