Punchline

You’re bitter in my mouth, love. 

I can almost taste apathy on the back of my tongue long after watching your first words forming in the space between.

I pondered/struggled/writhed with anguish to gather my scattered selves and reach my unsung melodies of terror and solitude to tell you that it’s sunny, love. 

And that although it’s the middle of January and we’re said to hit the climate climax of the season but I don’t feel anything. In fact, I did not hear a single cold wind hitting my back.

Denial is a river in my brain cells, refusing to utter the syllables out loud in your presence.

What’s Latin for “Imissedyou”?

How do you spell “whole” again?

Where’s your moon today?

When I found my voice, I awoke.

Camelot

We’d both known what’s to come next, we prepared for the inevitable incident.

Yet, when the storm hit us, we lost track of all our plans and alas! Our time on earth was nearing its end. 

We tried quickly to run against all the odds of this world and escape our bad wind but it felt like an eternity while we stayed together, waiting to be rescued.

So we ran faster until we found solace in a tiny space away from the storm.

I saw you flinching.

You swore I was dreaming it up.

I drew closer to you. 

That’s when I knew how much you hated to be seen vulnerable in front of me. 

You wanted to appear stronger so I would keep going but the memory of you shaking would haunt me for the rest of my life. 

After that, I realized that it won’t be long until we part ways.

Longest Day of The Year

Someone shot your partner and you were next in line. 

All you could do to end this was jump from the highest window of your building straight into the unknown. 

You hoped for instant death but you survived the fall somehow as you hit the sea surface.

Although you managed swimming to reach the shore safely, you hear someone shouting: “look closely at your hem!” 

That’s when you saw the tiny creatures creeping up on you. 

The maggots are starting to multiply on your wrist, arm and now they’re on your shoulder. 

You’ve been dying many times but at this instant you didn’t choose how your life ends, so you quickly run back to the water and drown yourself.
