on the envelope of a defunct birthday card

i can listen to the birds talk
i can read right through the whispers of nests of dust and see what i'm made of

i can feel the weight of the sun and imagine a bright heavy collision
i can smell the way life rots and i will never understand 
why you talk the way you do
and how is it that i will never be able to 
touch the water as graceful as you do

its too difficult to understand why the sun chose i
why are we staring at each other
now i am crying and now you are crying
and this is too weird

i can feel the pulse of every poet; relentless
i'm too cautious for my own taste
but hear this: i love you

i don't know why your aura is strong and mine is not
what does that weight cost to you

i am only thinking of someone
do the little ones know my tears
they smell the salty air and prepare to hunt me
am i food

please stop crying
its getting dark and i can't stay here- i should go
but please stop crying
this isnt funny, because i don't understand what you're saying
you aren't being fair.
