I FORGET WHAT I REMEMBERED.
I love the most in the morning, when we are born again. Clean and awake to another. Our bodies alongside, singular and with the other, smelling like ourselves. I have lost a language and I don’t know who I am. The sounds fall in between dreams and skin, and I forget again what I remembered. What I remembered. And I forget again what I remembered. What I remembered. How true can anything become, and how do we know the difference? Everything is happening at once and I am happening with it. How true can anything become? And how do we know the difference? I do not ask about belonging, or for a voice to call when there is no other. Every hour every frequency rings in me like exclamation marks, and so I let them. I reach out and I can feel you like I haven’t before. The sounds fall in between dreams and skin and I forget again what I remembered. How true can anything become, and how do we know the difference? Everything is happening at once and I am happening with it. How true can anything become and how do we know the difference? Everything is happening at once and I am happening with it.
