Signifiers


I constantly want to erase things
like the sun,
or people.
but mainly words,
signifiers.

There is an inherent strength in the ability to smudge things away.

I don't mind leaving the echoes of communication etched and
    indented everywhere.
Even if it means someone else only needs to trace echoes to recommunicate
    what I have unsaid.

Sometimes I write things
just to erase them
and leave reblanked sheets of paper on doorjambs
and windowsills
to find out if anyone is trying to rewrite myself.
