to live inside you



1.
i cant live inside a person
feel their internal temperatures on my face
or brush their tissues through my fingers

when i'm dead
i'll shrink myself
and make a temporary shelter inside the goo
pick up stones
look into the back of your brain
they way i look to the sky now
to feel my tiny mortality
or to ask for help.

2.
drop the sack of potatoes on the floor
pinch a child
drop my change down the drain
hold in a goggle breath for a while
blow it into a loose necked bottle
throw the breath bottle in with the laundry
watch the whites and the green become a fin
jump through ice
and wave off my beliefs like a dog
