UN-repair-ABLE damage

 

 

 

Perhaps we should just pack up our feelings and head home, because maybe the end has already come to pass. Yet, it’s the absences that send me searching for fillers. It’s about the holes that he bore into my body and mind; it's about the holes that he will probably never repair. You see, I am porous. You see, I drain. Horrified and exhausted, his fingers fled on nails long ago, before his eyes could witness the destruction. The man exists, under covers, to dream of red horizons filled with nude Examples.
