the end

the light
the clock
the billowing wind
the raindrops out the window

the spark
the whale
the timeless tale
the longing and the tunnel

even though i 
know how it ends
i keep writing 
in pen

smudging the ink 
on my clothes
like it won't 
leave a stain

the hand, the fool
the will-o'-the-wisp
the fall
the stoppage of light

the sign. the ghoul
the big lightning bolt
the scream
the humble abode


i know the end- phoebe bridgers
