ALONE ❋ Jenna-Katheryn Heinemann

resting my toes near your feet
this is what I am drawn to

on your mattress I absorb your body by bending differently
towards you, smelling like air
towards water

outside of this room
looks like you have
pressed refresh on a web page
like hundreds of fresh vines in morning light

I woke up to an entirely new city
and rendered each impression I had
of every person thinking that they could each belong to me

the pull you feel in your chest, where does it come from?

I have found myself wanting intensity so I’ve created structure

are things feeling okay?
I’m not sure
maybe right now they could be okay

it’s convenient to stare at a blank ceiling while my room looks like glowing amber
I’m getting better at using my body to guide my relationship with time
my watch has finally fallen apart; a new way of moving
through this city, with this body
