5. crush
[image description:
black text on white-grayish background; it reads:
i collect faces my fingers traced
like milk teeth memories in the small box
underneath my pillow
in sleepless nights i count them
put them back into my mouth
try to rearrange them into the places
they once fit into but
there is no room anymore
when i bit down on them too hard
they broke and the teeth that grew back
afterwards are stronger
do you feel the difference
when i'm biting down on your lip
once again for old times sake
(in cursive) only this time it draws blood?]

4. strange behavior
[image description:
black text on white-grayish background; it reads:
you stopped staring at my lips
when i spoke
that's how i knew
you were not in love with me anymore
last week i started sleeping on the wrong side of the bed]

3. limbs
[image description:
black text on white-grayish background; it reads:
i have not been feeling too well
like a ghost
or phantom rather
i can't feel my left arm
most of the time
(two toes not at all)
i can lift and move it
but the warmth at the end
of my fingertips when
i touch your cheek
is missing
(or just gone)
phantom numbness
what are my chances of recovery?]

2. a separation
[image description:
black text on white-grayish background; it reads:
the alarm clock digits change to zero
and he squeezes his eyes shut
that is how you wish for something
time is not a good method of separation
before and after midnight
a wish is still only a wish]

when i opened my eyes
[image description:
black text on white-grayish background; it reads:
copper cascades
flowers grow from
under her fingernails
pastel silks and blushing cheeks
she shimmers golden dusty rose
(in cursive) looking at you pushes me
to the verge of blindness
i can't keep my eyes open
for long]

how did the sky look?
i’m asking you because i can’t see anything through the clouds in my brain. what did it look like when we were standing beneath it?
i want to ask you to describe it to me with utmost precision, so that i can paint a picture of it in my mind and talk to you about it, pretending that there are no clouds and that i can see it with my own eyes.
