valentines day

i wanted to write tonight. but i think i might actually go to sleep before 10. amazing.

anis - shake the dust...
"this.. this is for you.... make sure by the time the fishermen are back you are gone,
cause just like day i burn at both ends
and every time i write, everytime i open my eyes
i am cutting out a part of myself to give to you
so shake the dust and take me with you when you do
for none of this has f*cking ever been for me.
all that pushes and pulls, pushes and pulls for you.
grab this world by its clothespins
and shake it out again and again
and jump on top and take it for a spin
and when you hop off
shake it again for this is yours.
make my words worth it.
make this not just another poem that i write
not just  another poem like just another night that's
heavy above us all.
walk into it, breathe it in,
let it crash through the halls of your arms
like the millions of years
of millions of poets *coursing?*
like blood pumping and pushing,
making you live,
shaking the dust.....
