.the burden of burning. by Camila Guerreiro

“Lately I keep things
just to throw them away: practice,
practice. 

What I mean is, I’ve had enough
longing, enough of nothing
ever being enough. Look how the earth
shrugs its mountainous shoulders, how the cows don’t blink
unless there’s a fly, how the pavement quits
to dirt without warning, how the river can’t tell
itself from the rain. 

Since when can I not
get over anything?
I promise I’ll love you forever
if you please just don’t make me
start now, in the brief dumb calm
of the just-fine.
I want to take her home
but to someone else’s home, or perhaps just send her home
with someone else. 

What I mean is, I’m tired
of everything gorgeous. Of the burden
of burning. Of wondering
when. What I mean is, on some nights I miss you so much
that I never want to see you again.”
