hello, yes--
i would like to take you alone
don’t you know
take you to boling bacteria matts
where the ground doesn’t care about your feet
i never know what to say, but god
do i appreciate the preservation
thanks
and i don’t know how long anything will last
(but not forever)
and so many things and people will die
boiling alive
all while the ground screams
#
in conversations my father says we have to save this for future generations
and some nights i curl sideways and think about the world
like i could give birth to anything at all
other than myself
##
i always say i am ready for death
and i think i will be until that moment comes
and i’ll loudly take it back
###
so thank you because i am always upset and everyone wants a forever
knowing nothing lasts
but now i’m full of all these memories
sunflowers and fumaroles
a supervolcano set to blow
####
this life is just full of subtle beauties
and i want to share every atom with you
