Draft written between 24th st and Powell stations

Paint the edges of my alter black
I want to feel your borders
Let me be contained
So I know you are here
Riding this line, swaying with the rails.
I am here, but rushing to the next destination.
My body is faint but addicted to the fast pulse.

The hummingbird beats of my heart
Remind me of my limits.
My brains misguided messages
Reminds me that I cannot out speedwalk my flaws.

this is reminiscent of Rilke, but i can definitely hear your voice. it is wonderful. i especially like how it starts, the whole thing is perfect though. nevermind calling it a draft, my dear.
