ETC ZINE
Untitled
A Poem by Olivia (@olevey)
Are we rising tonight?
or will I lay alone and eat
For I could press a kiss to your forehead,
but you would still leave me to think.
Could I make the right decision and let
my body be
It would be impossible to find peace
within oneself when all planets revolve around
I see from my own perspective,
but I could never imagine the pain
seen through your eyes.*
Is it there?
Or did the earth take it back
Leave to pay attention to pixels and wood.
Fixate yourself on someone who does not
wonder your sensations and worries.
Peer through goggles like distorted stained glass.
And never concern yourself with another.
Just touch shards and letters that
tell you to starve.
Let nothing run through your veins.
You see nothing but yourself for others,
Setting affliction into my eyes.
