i learned to play in alleyways
barefoot through potholes, rubble, glass and
ashes of the possum that we
set ablaze three years ago
we were so free we were so free we learned what freedom was
we wore black bandanas to shield our face from the poison scent
of the burning carcass we all stood around
we set it free we set it free we sang
as ashes danced around
and i know
i was young
but thats the year i learned to love, i fell in love
i learned to become
and without
all that love
the suicide note that i wrote the next year
would be done
and so we talked like lovers once again
we met each other just like new
you told me about your turtles, your love for art and stressful hurdles
and through the year and through the year i fell head over heels
i woke up when you went to bed
for two long years i cried so often i felt like i was made of tears
and in my mind i built my coffin
so premature so premature i didnt want to live
and i came home
to no home
we were evicted earlier that year
and my heart broke
and the most
permanence i know
is in the shoes, it's in the shoes
the rubber of my soles
