Crappy Bus Poem

Location

Today was the first time I sold my soul and will be the last one.
My threshold keeps tumbling in my ears
trying to trap the clear air…
I don’t know if I am making sense 
but whatever I say is falling through the cracks of this house, 
of this cheeks and flesh:
body of violin, body of air.
 
I have written this poem thousands of times
the same way I have fallen in love 
and everything keeps setting down in eternity.
Things fall apart, me too.
 
Dream about me when you pray in the morning
park your car correctly, keep writing that phone
don’t stop smiling even in the winter, even if you only have less than twenty four hours to submit a poem.
 
I am under her foot
and her tangerine hair reminds me of a story
that I can’t recall but it was sad because i wasn’t there.
She is evil, talks with the thunder of her teeth but I still love her.
Name of monarchy she had. I wanted freedom. Behead her!
I don’t have anything else to hold on,
I have tried to move with her.
 
If everything has been a truth behind this moment
then you keep living in my mind. 
And maybe you can’t travel through subspace highways 
(which is disappointing)
but I still fear you with the same force with which I love you. 
I am trapped in your heart and in between this lines.
Tonight you will wake up from your lie.
I just a want to live by for this life 
and say your name:
 
I don’t even know what I love about her. It is not her eyes
it isn’t her voice or anything new.
 
Probably are her cracks
 
similar to mine
 
Her sound
 
Similar to a violin played by clear air.
