Everything apart from her stopped existing
Everything apart from her stopped existing
I stopped resisting
I want to stay with you forever
she started laughing
nobody talks like that
I do
She used to hang her leg over mine
under the table
in Meyers Place
drinking longnecks
I like your eyebrows
and your voice
like syrup
like my lyrics sometimes
keep going
she said
don’t stop now
Everything apart from her stopped existing
I didn’t want to be anywhere else
in the world
even New York City felt
like an international airport
a friend described it like that once
which made me laugh
all the Apple stores and Trader Joes and Taco Belles
stacked up in a row
I just wanted to be back home
with my Hungry Jacks
sitting next to her
playing with her hair
love will do that
Everything beyond her
began collapsing
roads and mountains dissolved into the ocean
like a cataclysm
an end-of-times spectator
on a transcendental bender
Words took on new meanings
i started singing songs I didn’t know the names of
my fingers tapping on the steering
wheeling and careening through time
untethered
my friends said I looked happy for a change
i rearranged the furniture
bought some new underwear
played Four Tops records loud
shined my cubans up
put my shoulders back
like my mum told me to
I abandoned my quest for meaning
my drinking
slowed down to a trickle
there was nowhere left to run to
the noise
in my head
decayed until
it became a whisper
Everything apart from us doesn’t exist anymore
I want to stay with you forever
for ever ever?
for ever ever
till our blood has dried
till all signs of life have departed
till we’re iced over again
till the Anthropocene has become a distant memory
till all the cells of our existence have returned to the atmosphere
and become oxygen for some new lovers to breathe
