i can't stop

finding space to lie down
angle my body
memorialise the dishonesty
of this figure
smooth tiles
watch me on the staircase
he wants me to continue
he doesn’t know me
but he wants me to continue
i can barely walk
but i will capture it
i barely have a face
but i will capture it
i am not even as cursed
as i would like to be
distort my frame
the decorations
they never die
i need places and places
places and more places
squares and bannisters
carpets and corners
the options claw at my ankles
gratitude burns me completely
it’s the worst day of my life
i am so happy
