fetid moments. what in our lives once was fresh. rotted now. like so
much dead flesh.
i don't need to know to know what i always have. words puff out their
chests. to appear bigger than they are.
but they're not stronger than us. they're just holding their breath.
i don't want to find out what it is i lack. because then i'd be inclinded
to want that. and it''d be such a shame to spend the rest of my life trying
to figure out how i night obtain something i can never have.
fetid moments lay in the compost bin. incrementally minutes turn to hours.
solids become liquid. and all that was so precious then becomes fertilizer
for the next.
