Spent

1

flesh packed by the pound
with broken hearts
tightly wound

and in the morning when
the day begins

we wear our smiles and
crooked 
grins

and lay down at night and
shed our sins

spent and tired but
full of 
grace

and yet these lines
we can't
erase


11

finding that place where i step into space
and lose myself

like an alien who eats human emotions
i'm lost in the oceans of your
desire

and like a human 
dipped in cumin
i'm on fire
