night sneaks up like a child’s bedtime;
i rub my eyes into the sleeve of my shirt,
aching for god or my mother. extremities become detachable
& friends become saints in a way that is more than
sacrifice or holy divinity.

the desire to be wanted only arrives
during the most intense isolation, sitting in the corner of a room,
listening to apologies turned argument; "i was right all along,
you should have done the thing i told you to do,
& now you didn't, & now look where you are."

i don’t know if i am hungry, or just alone.
i want to be high.
