Useful from Nothing Doing by Surtsey

Melted candle from the bottom of the cup
Pattern dreams that form, lights that flicker
I contemplate behavior & what I lack
You rearranged the numbers

On my front porch I found the forest’s further than the distance calling from my driveway to yours
& I’m anxious of the instant when I know what’s gonna happen but I don’t want to say a word before

Ineffably alone but happy enough
I should get off my phone, stale from talking
Bygone in the moment
I settle in to routines that keep me frozen

In the same room inside a sweater sleeping with your knees up
Landscape becomes watercolor brushed away
A thought about redemption; while you’re rotting in your reasons,
One day this pain could be useful
