Kurt Cobain
I was there,
I saw that brick alley
where brick by brick I walked with him
beneath a stone bridge,
to a carved-out tree
that Summer in Prague, and kissed.
All I think about now
is Kurt Cobain,
what it feels like to trace that last edge,
while an animal inside me screams
without pain,
just release.
I wanna split from that world
where people don't stop
to look at women selling flowers
while they drive to work, clocks
are ticking. Who needs them?
Because I can tell time
by the way painted nails
sparkle in the Sun on Sundays,
where I saw green but you saw red.
Maybe there's somewhere we could run..
Maybe someday
we'll look back on these as best of times,
because we found happiness in nothing.
