no, 
there's not 
enough time 
to contain 
all this life, 
all this bursting 
star bloom 
cascade ruin 
that oozes in 
slo-mo 
explosions, 
flows hot 
like a sullen 
volcano.

no, 
there's not 
enough time 
to untangle 
the lines, to
unravel the 
horror the 
turning
of tables
turn ogres
turn over
take mantles
bad apples
i brought home.

and i 
love and i
love and i
love and i
don't want 
to be 
the reason.

and i 
love and i
love and i
don't want 
to be 
the disease.

and i burn 
all the same 
for you,
you touch me
you burn.

and i 
love and i
love and i 
love and i
don't want to
blacken your 
pennies.

and i 
love and i
love and i 
love 
and i
don't want 
to corrode 
your 
bright skin.

can i heal 
what i hurt?

can i fix
what i broke?

did i 
break you 
did i
break did i 
break did i 
break did i
break 
you?

no, 
there's not 
enough time 
to contain 
all this love, 
all this bursting 
star bloom 
cascade ruin 
that 
oozes in 
slo-mo 
explosions 
flows hot 
like a sullen 
volcano.
