your chest is Tokyo
Poetry & Art

your chest is Tokyo

your chest is Tokyo,
somewhere i’ve never been
holding my hand while you have a dead arm
with a broken watch against your wrist
skyscrapers with flashing freckles
i’m choking on salt water in the flux
i have nothing to say about anyone
all a secret, all a mistake
falling in love with someone who doesn’t feel the same in your arms
