The Poetry Question

As I ride the subway,
I look out into windows
Of parallel lives and trains,
Wondering how much of myself
Is looking back…
Wondering if he will see himself

BROWN STUDY: “SELF PORTRAIT AS A MERMAID OR DEAD GIRL” – GAIA RAJAN

I started thinking about who owns grief, how memory and grief affect the body, and soon enough, the poem turned into an elegy for someone I’ve lost.

S2/EP3(α): Grow.

Posted on February 25, 2021April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

I moved in slowly.
Circled my situation intently.
Vulture picking the carcass,
Of who I was and used to be.
My past became nourishment…

LENNY – S2/EP2(Ω): Silent.

Posted on February 18, 2021April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

It was only a matter of time.
Our existence would only exist
In this chapter of my life.
The length was still undefined.
And with words
Lost in translation,
We exist on borrowed time.
Moments stolen from my dreams…

S2/EP2(α): Silence…

Posted on February 18, 2021April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

But I had to accept that
We were no longer
Only fucking.
I took days of distance,
Contemplated all my exes,
Reflected & Reminisced,
Made a few decisions
On how to measure…
Explain,
The depths of this experience

S2/EP1: Open Book.

Posted on February 11, 2021April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

Random analogies and metaphors,
Simple words and phrases,
Digestible poetry…
Combo meals,
Popular for mass consumption.
I desire none of that.

S1/EP8: Closing Remarks. (Part II)

Posted on December 31, 2020April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

So am I making closing remarks?
Or is this a follow up discussion?
I just wanna avoid un-alerted spoilers,
And their possible repercussions.

S1/EP7: Closing Remarks. (Part I)

Posted on December 24, 2020April 14, 2021 by bradleygalimore

I listened to a song that made me think of you.
An album I hadn’t heard later,
I feel like I knew you better than when
I invested time in knowing you.

S1/EP6: Gray Areas & Silver Linings.

Posted on December 24, 2020April 7, 2021 by bradleygalimore

What happens when you wonder,
If to be with someone
Means just putting up with each other,
Or finding another person
Who thinks about these things too,
As you both say nothing,
And simply exist
In this gray area?
