I must ask you What is this place made of I’ve heard somewhere we are all stardust Full of cosmos that’s infinite no end, no middle So where am I why you come to me in blurry sunlight and the rain dispersing yellow shade of night light That is so thick that it made me ignore the shadows of the pit I fell into when I fell for you Is that shadow also stardust? I must ask you Why the night air so thick so fluid passing like river down the mountain when it’s uncontrollably young I must ask you Who were you? BTW I don’t love you anymore... But that love was like dense grass that’s soft and green and unusually tall that covers the land entirely It’s beautiful until your skin is all red But you made it blue It is my favourite colour by the way and yours is green we are evergreen grassland which is burnt now I’ll keep writing Bcs writing doesn’t know it’s the end It’s Just 17 Made of dream Full of everything full of you and me full of nothing I’ll grow out of it But growing out means growing in too And Day like this will come again The Days of remembering...

Circulatory System
I meditate with my thumb Store cries in my lump Speak panic through my nose Only express pain in my toes Love with my lips Hate with my tongue Smile with cheeks Cry with lungs Talk with hands Speak with eyes Hurt in bones And the funny thing is— Nobody knows

Anatomy
You kissed me like ice cream. I melted on your lips. You tasted the flavour of indigo sadness And black coffee. The aroma of vanilla-oil and sweat, and our breath dissolving into each other. My soul diffusing to my mouth— to feel your heart, your tongue, your teeth. I cried somewhere in between. I wish I knew why— when you asked me. Maybe— as you cracked open my eyes, my control, and my autonomy showed the difference between closeness and proximity, being held and being yours, Being one love, one body when you kissed my head, while I was disintegrating. Erasing the spring that was rotting inside of me from years and years of selling my body for love— and calling it love. It was profanity. It’s raining. The sound of it collides in the futile echoes of the room. Even after you went home, I can still hear you. And it bites— the smell of you, heavy on my pillow, as you bite me, softly, like ice cream. Now I know myself more, but don’t know who I am anymore.

In the Room with Windows Closed
heard a forty-year-old couple fighting. The words were nails. They kept hammering. It felt like they shouldn’t be together here— in a mall. I thought it’s not worth a chance. We’ll end up like that, a cartoon train derailed, fighting like our lives depend on it. No matter how hard we try to stay away, entropy waits. Then I ate sweet corn and walked around. I saw them sitting in the thinning crowd, quiet on a bench. The sting of bad mouths still there. But he is holding her tight, her head on his shoulder. I love you.

Mall poem
Sitting in the park same bench since the second time we met. Cigarette butts and evening grass and strangers stare–still. I don’t look down on you, I’m just tall. But you look up across the sky. You said Virgo and Libra go just well Well, As Astraea was a poet's pen yet still a hypocrite— She chose darkness and left the balance scale to adrift in zero gravity. It's quite how our story is Isn't it? Now we walk side by side, hands in pockets. It’s not that cold outside. I’m trying to solve crosswords in our words There is black coffee bitterness— I’m too young for that. But you look for answers in stars. Maybe if you didn’t look that far, when I’m right here, so close to you

there is so much space between us?
"Nobody can make you feel small" you said Sitting on my right leg Chocolate wrappers in coffee mugs On a couch, it feels like Christmas Though no one here celebrate And I made you read the last poem I chuckled "That's the dumbest...no second dumbest thing you ever said" You said "Don't give those eyes, they precipitate" Then you started kissing me When you were halfway out the door I asked you to say something nice You said, "I love you"

The Couple Poem
I’m a hibiscus I’m rare to myself when I bloom. To love me is to love the blooming as much as I do, and the rest just the same. It’s funny how love can only define love. No painter’s satchel holds the moment— so perpetually transient. But you— **** bones, angry sorrow. Air in my hand, a lonely painter full of rain, an eclipse moon on your lower lip. You are the black hole between your courtroom-brown iris. And I— I’m just a hibiscus.

I’m a hibiscus
I saw you as a sweet boy— you taste like ice. Love is a cool word thrown across the screen light. You said you want me— alive, in your life. I can fall again for that smile, until I’m just a wishbone drying in the kitchen window. I might be unhappy. I am a poem, I am sick. You are a doctor with a drill in your fist. Bhavika warned, “Barbaric at best.” How can I blame you? You just want to keep me alive. But isn’t it enough to be me, to be loved? Is this love, or a lovotomy?
