supermassive black hole II / interlude I

there must be something ancient running through my veins

I swear that you did not die when you told me your skin reminds you of something long gone

and did I not tell you I wanted to see Warsaw and Krakow because I think the light lingers in between the buildings

the way it lingers between your eyelids

because the trains would not tell us where they would want us to go to either and seeing that there are sayings that are partial lies we did nothing but vanish into thin air

afterwards I checked for vital signs only to find that I could not measure them with my fingers even if I tried

simply because there was something far more complicated stuck in my eyes 

I guess it was the forest and the sea and how bewildering it was to be

only then I realised how much I longed for the sharpness of skin and the way it feels when fingertips slide down spines

only to find the root of another person's body

please let me be your dinosaur, too

never let me sink
always feel at home
