time poured from the sky
'the days themselves were gods'
 
i am afraid of the day
 
bright day,
wanting to sleep from you
 
wanting the father hand on my head
 
wanting to go buy raspberries
to drink coffee
wanting to be excited about someone i don't know
 
plain day, if i don't escape you
 
hunger is a taste on the back of the tongue
loneliness pushes hard on the bone between the eyes
