Unreliable

Updated: Nov 8, 2022



Remember how you

worried about the

late train, unreliable

transportation, you said,

the Europeans are

unreliable, you said,

I search you for

guarantee, but

you're hard to find

how I'd like to

get lost, forever, you say,

is how we console

children you don't believe in

consolation but I am

a child, hard to find


Remember the sweet

taste of exhaustion

I fed you words

watched as you chewed

on the sounds of my home

you fell asleep mumbling


I cannot be with you

in my sleep

if you don't believe in

forever, might you say

my name one more

time before you

go away
