something

by Kalyja Rain


what if I’m

jaded

all of the bracing is coming undone

you're so

patient

because I don’t think

you care

if I made

this shit up

sunless

sunrise

you’re no primary lover

lustful

province

Keep something that tastes

Like 2 am air

don’t wedge yourself

between the moon and her witness

don’t dare you

try to deny

these viable lines

that I use when I’m sinking

I’m still

bound by my

old holding patterns

like ill play

I’ll play my moves intuitively

how like me

I try I try I try

to make everything

something

and maybe it’s something

or it’s nothing at all

what if im

craving

telling you nothing

about my overrides

fawning

taming

oral fixations

and evident side eyes

sunless

sunrise

you’re no primary lover

lustful

province

Keep something that warrants me

spending the night here

don’t wedge yourself

between the moon and her witness

don’t dare you

try to deny

these viable lines

that I use when I’m sinking

I’m still

bound by my

old holding patterns

like ill play

I’ll play my moves intuitively

how like me

I try I try I try

to make everything

something

and maybe it’s something

or it’s nothing at all
