'Ington

A Poem by Matt Chevalier

We filled houses with wavering bodies-
Handfuls of
 sound waves
Thrown into
my face
Soon became a waterfall,
There, we let ourselves drown;
Webs of loose words cradled us
While filling my lungs with (loves)
It was one of those days
Where our backs and the musty walls
Held hands along with us
And the sensation of falling,
Repeating overandover,
To the point where it had a meaning again.
We're only getting older here,
Stress lines eat up my hands
and the air is indecisive
You wrote your complaints all over my arms,
Promising me I'll cherish each one.
I do.

Wow. This is powerful and evoking, yet the diction and that final word are almost haunting. Overall, well done. :)
