r e p l a c e m e n t s

my body is now only touched by the rain

my replacement for your hands

my face is now only kissed by the sun

my replacement for your lips

my mind is now only naked for the moon

my replacement for your ears

i am replacing you

with the sweet earth

that runs mix-matched with my blood

you thought

i would cling to your air

forever

but here i am

breathing on my

own
