Member-only story

It intensifies with age

--

the universe continues to expand

into nothingness

like a spool of red thread

tumbling down

a 90-story staircase,

& when the clouds

are too depressed to fly,

the sky cracks

& all the blackness falls out

there’s always a slight hum

of lights flickering above you

when you’re not looking

if your hands were made of water

& your knuckles were rocks,

i’d float away

if i’d just let go.
