i can't believe it.
you became the walking dead.

the transformation was spectacular.
your mouth did move...
so few words yet so much biting.

and now i try not to stare:
doodles and giggles
numbing
against
devalue and discard.

you are dead--
my affection rotted to slimy ribbons
to match.

what is left to say to you?

excuse me, sir,
but your face is going to fall off.

and did you know...
you stink?

by all means,
go ahead and stagger towards
your next victim

i'll be right here...

alive--
valuing my living heart.

read it on the radio


you can keep
your rollercoasters
and letters written in milk

kisses aren't contracts
but
gravity surely is.

you'll learn.
