Stare


I have been staring for two hours
Like I will fall
If I move

It is absolute

If I move
I will fall
If I move

Alright girl, he asks
He smells of alcohol
Not breath
Deep inside
Fermenting
I say yes

I smell inside too
All this waiting and staring turns me to rust

we are
sitting
staring

a bench apart
not so far apart

no noise
constant noise

no place
safe

except the blue chairs
in the powder place

but i can’t sit there
and stare
and stare

I do wish somebody would call says Alice

I laugh because I know

We are unreachable
Unobtainable

Curious I say

That the foam around his lips nestles in my neck

That the blood goes through two pillow cases
Quite beautifully
Like petals
Falling
We sit and stare.
