relevance.

you described yourself to me
hollowing out of heart
honey
you told me you would remember the days
each sound you made would resemble the echo of an inclined hardening
harder still you make me wonder
how it is man differs so much from the view of a woman
and you were the boy
who wanted to hold my love in the cusp of two hands quivering
every night if i could see thru the eyes of a sunken view
the water would buckle against the earth
and i would grow you out of roots five years longer
long enough to see the sun stretch against my naked skin
late enough in the morning to see still that you were lingering
ive grown up inside long rows of agricultural indifferences
you said everything you could say
but could not be
and the rows still grow longer
it was the point i said id take
but always knew would never hold solid when
the water no longer takes claim to sides
when life continually asks us to let go of everything that wants to hold us
the runoff remains brutally uneven with honesty.
i’ll describe myself to you
but your patience will abstract
and forget to follow
you are everything i said you were and all the more of what you know already
i am the pieces pulled together in darkness created by light
we were never meant to say all of what was spoken
but life lives with no room to take back or deny
you are the journey of your own dreaming
i am the face you wanted to stake claim
neither will keep vivid towards the ending
of your silence and my relevant withdrawal
