For Ohio

If you had asked me 

at seventeen years

"have you ever wanted to kill someone?"

I'd be a dead hanging liar 

if I'd said no. 

Send you the only swan song I know,

my silence is dark and cold as you could imagine.

I think of your eyes in real life,

Maybe I'm too depressed -

I skim them, I can't read.

Eclipses are as damaging as the sun herself.

At least now, 

cigarettes make me think of something.
