I say green

Winking at each other through the indigo touched with gold”

Everything's about numbers
About making them fit
Numbers that I can't slide into this equation

Maybe I am crazy”

“When the night falls open
Eclipsing the day
The monologue
Begins

Recounting the moments that
Could have
Should have
Been
If only I would have
Could have
Done this
Said that

Listening to this monologue
Detailing
Everything that should have happened, but didn't
The day that should have been
But wasn't
Because I didn't
Hadn't been able to
Frown then
Laugh when

This must be what it's like to be schizophrenic
Your internal world
Your mind
Crowded and consumed”
― Catherine Alene, The Sky Between You and Me

“Because all it takes is a single stone
To leave a bruise”
