omar: I heard today that you died I'm beside myself and now you’re gone (I never told you your experience was special) good enough to write it down no one else could have told it best I just wish that I could’ve picked up on your warning signs I can see you now riding on your bike wearing your bear suit camera on your arm SETH ARIEL WALOT it's never enough the time you spent with them and once they’re gone it gives us skewed perspective it embitters memories it preys upon your fear that there were times left better spent

randall: I used to let it slip by Words and phrases you used to use With me, with friends Used to laugh it off, used to What did you say, say it again? Only fit to push a mower, right? I’m just “some spic”. Why would you say that? How could you say that to your friend? I think we deserve more respect than that No, I’m not one of the good ones. Won’t laugh at your jokes. Fuck your jokes

randall: Take them out when I drink Those shards still fixed in me Pokes the back of my throat Tickles when I breathe the memory/knife is in the back of the bottom drawer all the way back in the bottom drawer take me away from memory, pull it through the ear don't care if I bleed

randall: I hope you don’t mind If we sit and talk I know I put a lot on you I'm always needing someone to make me feel safe Sorry, but this’ll happen Time and time and time again. It gets hard to breathe Hard not to collapse into myself Reaching for a hand in the dark Just to find a guide An impulse to make me feel safe I don’t know why I just can’t find the strength I don’t know why I just can’t heal. taylor: nothing left to breathe to yr dismay, not that you'd feel it
5.
omar: i scratched the insides of my thighs until the pigment scarred away the deepest part where my skin can hide somewhere you’ll never ever see a paler complexion left behind what if i kept going until i made myself less threatening, suspicious, dirty? why hide my color in a crowd? so much time spent wondering how to stay invisible how to find a place for me just wish i was brown enough (i'm stuck between) why hide my color? skin that taunts you skin that hates you skin that haunts you skin like worm guts
6.
randall: I’m different in it, skimp details but it’s still me. Keep the scars so it looks real Try to imagine what you’d say, what draws your eyes You study my landscape. My body is porous conglomerate - holds water, breaks easy & often My body is shale & sandstone - dig deep to well its worth I made a map ofmy scars and warts - the pieces i’ve cut away I am a stone clastic and coarse grained I was formed for this world I am not afraid of my body - I hope you feel the same about yours I won't let fear take anything away

"finally learning to be by myself and i'm hoping for you to return maybe then i think that i'll go out the door and sit looking for you at the seashore I'll be outside until you come back"

a black wind 03:07
omar: each time im in that valley, i relate to actions that i find desperate otherwise i don’t see the things i love in front of me they don’t matter when i’m there, things dissolve around me i’ve been ending each conversation with “sorry if it happens” can’t trust that i won’t it’s as simple as an itch to me it’s familiar it’s insignificant it’s relief i try to hold on
