spirit abrasions

Don’t we all long to say something profound?
Longing is, in this sense, a diversionary tactic–
an escape from the reality of saying nothing, or
saying something pointless or irrelevant.

Run for it.

Breathe into your hand,
smell the sound of your lies
between the cracks of your fingers,
slipping out into night.

I wish it were night that spanks me thus.
