I. i'll throw my fists into the sky and bruise the clouds, split their ranks with thunder and catch the water they abandon to gravity. i'll break the sky with plotless ambition. i'm going to drive for hundreds of miles through the rain because i have to make some kind of progress. i'll tear apart the crease between mountain and sky with my bare hands and the birds can't stop me. i'll learn to fly to the edge of gravity so my fall will have real impact. i've actually been falling for some time now, but never from anyplace with a view.
II. i'll toss my face into the dirt and bruise my pride. i tried to dig to the center of the world but it didn't exist for me. i'll lie in my hole forever and the worms can't stop me. it's filling with rain and that's alright because i can't sink any deeper than where i am.

[it gangrened]
like an amputated leg, i think we left you behind because i don't remember sparing you a single thought in the months between summer and this morning when, in the public library, you tied a yellow string around my wrist and tried to look into my eyes (your blue irises were eclipsed by your pupils, quit your drugs) and smiling, said, "nobody comes to see me anymore." i don't think you expected a response (god knows we haven't given you any in ages) but i felt obliged to tell you, "we didn't want to be your friend anymore." you are a phantom limb.

i really liked the imagery. jesus christ, this one is so angry sounding. as opposed to your general sort of doleful tone for poems, this one is all IM SICK OF BEING SAD FUCK YOU! it doesn't even seem like you haven't written in a while, save for the lack of line breaks and the fact that it is much more narrative than its predecessors. also, you've been using the sky/bird/flight motif for quite some time. i like that one. you do it well. the only part of it that i can say i wasn't so fond of was "learn to fly to the horizon of gravity..." that phrase doesn't feel right. i think i don't like horizon where its used. i really like this poem, ein.
