dusk
always
these aren’t the days
walk in tompkins 
moving east
I can always hear it
these aren’t my ways
seamless smiles
I stick around
who thought I would 
ready to suffer
again better deeper
I surrender myself 
there’s a pain in the eyes
and there’s air here too
arms length in the ground
constant chatter
unearthed cursed names
never mine to give
another reason to fear
but another to love
