"Caroline Doesn't Stay" by James Diaz
be careful
turn around dark eyes
the crumbling
is crossed in gold
how is anyone able
to cope
kick the wall
call on god
there is no
goddamn space
anymore
here, we are all here
packed in
sweating the earth out
of our bodies
you know
this isn't really a song,
don't you
and that I could never sing
and dance at the same time
o for fuck's sake
steal something
on your way out
break a law, a bone
a window - anything
don't just stand there
like you're working a puzzle
the pieces of your mouth
glued and glazed with artificial heaven
do you need me to show you,
like this
break down the whole
into its parts
build it up again
row by row
let it ruin you / fill you up
you're a good cup.
