Hit the Ground by Lizz Wright

posture

the way
i walk
backwards into walls

i need somebody's
eyes back there

behind my head.
all i see
is your face

waving goodbye.

that slight tip of your head
  that you do,

your oakleys damp
on the bridge of your nose:

i had to drag myself
over the threshold.

no no no
i better look forward, baby:

i might run into walls.

things hurt.
i do it to myself.
but looking back at least

i can't see
your face
at its saddest,

your eyes that remind
me of me...
