lyrics
In my camera roll, page nine. Your face glows under train-window light. I try to drag it to the trash line. My thumb just freezes on the screen at night. At Shibuya, forty-eight percent charge. My hand shakes over that tiny frame. I zoom in small, then pull back hard. I know your eyes by the file name. Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Your blue coat on the park bench seat. Rain on the lens, my sleeve half-dry. I saw one tear on your left cheek. Now the album keeps your shape in time. At the convenience store, two a.m. I stand by the ice cream glass. The screen turns bright in my left hand. I lock it once, then let it pass. Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away If I close my eyes, it's still there. Pixel by pixel, sharp and small. A thumbprint smudge, a bent-back chair. I keep one photo, that's all. Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away Can't swipe away
