Everything i didn't say to you
takes up a lot of room
some days the unsaid
is louder than anything i could have said
i don't know if that's grief
or just bad timing

Before dawn the birds start
something i never noticed
until i started waking up at 4am
they're not waiting for the sun
they start early on purpose
i've been thinking about that

October moon you're orange and low
you look closer than you are
i keep reaching for things
that are farther than they look
me and october moon
we understand each other

i'm not afraid of the dark
i'm afraid of what i think about
when the dark makes thinking
the only option
the dark isn't the problem

the one time i was lucid
i flew over a city i didn't recognize
and landed in a park
a dog came up to me
like it knew me
like we had met before
i woke up and missed the dog

The cold makes everything precise
edges clear, breath visible
i like winter nights for this
everything fuzzy in summer
everything blurred in grief
but winter cuts through
i can see where things end

Silence knows more than it lets on
it was there for all of it
the conversations
the arguments
the nothing
and it kept everything

Half of something
is still something
i keep telling myself this
looking at the half moon
on a tuesday night
half is fine
half is a lot actually

You said the stars were just fire and distance
nothing more
maybe you're right
but fire and distance
is enough for me

I walked to the end of the street
and back again
not because it helped
but because moving felt like doing something
the streetlights don't ask questions
i appreciated that
