habibatii

2024-09-??


i loved you

sunbloomss

mountains mourning the dead ,.

the dead ,.

moonside waves crash, drown,

down . drown,

the winter told me:

"here i am and for the the "

so i walked and i walked

for seven days ,straight

scythian on the drowning steppe

hare, hare, ,hare srikrshna!

to the walls of damascus

damascus, dimashq .

verily, i have no where to die

and i move on—

snowblind in my heart

centuries of calm bloodshed;

these trees want nothing. .

nothing.

the winter told me this:

"here i am for the first time

and so i reply:,

"thank you my love"

my love love habibati.

twentyy pillbottles on my floor

cold dead floor

so far far from my love

grave-merchant under my bed—

please dont grab me .

twenty words and none of them are me.

im scared for our love habibati

afraid it is over

i am your martyrd sun.

your adobe braves my heat.

my bus ride home is so sad

my seat is so tired of this martyr;

so i lay on the busfloor and

andi cannot hold back my stuccoed tears ,.

so i leave

i leave this mountain city

for good .
