Bieber Closes This Day
This day ends with Justin Bieber on the brain
if it’s not you it’s not anyone
& all the thoughts scaffolding up my soul
Let go
He’s got angel wings on his neck
in his voice
their wind songs
enough to soothe
the thoughts as they
Fall
Land flat-footed
peer up
Begin the ascent again
through dreamland
…go & love yourself
