moving on
relentlessly
and that's what i do
every moment of every day
i move on
i
leave behind
ideas, things
people
used, but never
broken
i take good care of what
i loved
still
i discard
easily
on the surface
if you dig deeper
you'll find
i am the same
as everyone,
as you
my breath is ragged
and i
leave claw-
marks
on
everything.
i leave with
nails in blood.
progress is
moving on
relentlessly
i know that to be true
so i close my eyes
just for a moment
every time
i have to lick
my own
blood.
