Slip-Stream

By Chalin

8,000 miles away.
I stood and stared inside.
everything was there,
but i knew it was
Gone.

Lost somewhere between
latex and rollercoasters.
i should retrieve
your legacy,

i should reclaim it.

But i have swallowed spikes
and intelligent conversation.

the words get lost inside.
Thought slips through the
punctured stillness of my
mind.

they take the form of tears,
i sing to you this way.

how everything is gone
and nothing will remain.

I feel so invisible.
mostly lost and invincible.
