Ok but do we get an update on the eggs?

Should’ve checked whether anyone in my house likes eggs before we got chickens. I have 67 eggs that need eating.

I have never been so unsure of a person

As I am of you

Will our pieces fit together

In time?

Or is this why we sit on the floor in our pajamas

Jamming pieces of our own puzzles together

As if, together, they will make something better than us

[soft-spoken-choices]

I knew then that forever wasn’t long enough for a love like ours

[soft-spoken-choices]

I will be the eternity you feel

When you are in bed

On the cusp of falling asleep

You will fall in love not with me

But with the fleeting feeling of infinity

I give you

-K.J.

When asked about the kind of person my brother is, I think;

destruction

sandcastle collapses and washing away the evidence

he is wilted flowers and Autumn trees

Knuckles bruised into the shape of Rage

he is innocent blood spilt in Fields of War

he is shaking hands holding rifles aimed at boys

he is an addiction of the worst kind, leaves you empty and aching for more

sometimes he is words like daggers thrown across the room

sometimes it is harder to breathe in his presence than with a hand wrapped around my throat

when asked about the kind of person my brother is, I also think;

salvation

a Spring Rain washing away the pain

flower crowns made from wilted flowers; he is the beginning after the end

he is the changing of seasons and the laughter of children

sometimes he is all love and no hurt

sometimes he's only smiling when the silence is too delicate to break

often he is protection in a mask of anger and indifference

often he is a shelter for the lost and alone

often he is a reminder of things getting better

when asked about the kind of person my brother is, I say;

"Empires will rise and fall before he gives up"

maybe what I mean is; he is strong

loyal

fierce

unwavering

but the Poetry in my blood will not let me describe the beginnings of a home with such simple words

I want to fall in love with the way you write

I want to fall in love with the letters you send

Like hidden notes during class

I want to fall in love like rain

Soft and comforting

Loud and raucous

Booming and attention grabbing

I want to write about our love on the marines of my pages

In the sky at dawn

On the stars at night

I want to engrave it in trees and encase it in diamond

I want to fall in love with the way you write

My graveyard lies

In the words between words

My body buried in the time

We did not have

My obituary is written

In incomplete sentences

I have written what I want you to know

But I cannot seem to say it

My tongue has forgotten how to form the sounds

That make up the syllables

Of the words you want to hear

My graveyard

Lies on your tongue

My body stuck

At the back of your throat

I am a pill

You cannot swallow

-K.J.

Maybe if I had said no one more time

You wouldn't have felt okay

Putting your hands on me

And taking my soul

And what if my screams are silent

And my tears the only thing

Speaking volumes of my soul

A tired voice of weathered words

Screams agony from my throat

Unheard in its creation and

Nonexistent in its formation

Good morning my king

I will walk with you through your garden

And kiss your hand like they used to do

I will court your love and coax your silky smiles to the surface

So only I may love the grin you give

I will inspire and destroy

Throw my care to the wind

Cry havoc for only the fireflies and mosquitoes to hear

I will conquer and evade

Will your mind to accompany me

Into the depths of destruction and solace

This is my origin

So if you lay in my arms

And fall asleep to the soft hum

Of our song from my lips

I will stay there

And sooth your fear with my

Hands covering your panic
