The Quality of Our Solitude
after you scrape the ads
swipe off the phone
dial down the sugar,
fat, and tobacco
stop worrying about bills
department manager
to-do list and
tiny revenge scenarios
how's it going in there
how's the quality of your solitude
forgetting the music
voice to exercise
pornographic Gifs
translations unrealized
what frequencies do you hear
What does your void look like
does God have a beard
is anything purple and beach-like
there's nothing that compares
with that roaring silence
naked on a log
the cold has returned
I grab your fingers
gently pulling you
we're eye to eye
the moment dissolves
your roar swallows mine
I forget what we are
