Remember when the moon was made out of cheese? When our blood was still gold, when the universe could be traveled in a cardboard spaceship and kingdoms were made from pastel pillows and soft blankets When we lived off cereal and juice boxes, when there were monsters in the toilets. Peanut Butter stuck to the top of your mouth, knees bruised, cut from falling out of trees Crashed bikes and burnt finger tips. Lullabies and rhymes the only songs in our little heads In an era when time did not exist. When the morning lasted till noon, the trees would sing along with the fireflies and pillbugs As we’d lay, stomachs full of water melon waiting for the evening to swallow the yellow glow of the dying day. Do you remember when the coolest thing you could have was a lava lamp? Remember when the snow wasn’t icy? Remember when flowers would grow out of everything? Do you recall the smell of the rain before the damp and the cold? Do you remember that time you could hear the blood pounding in your ears, remember wondering how ants saw the world?

-CHILDHOOD-
tell me about the stars and galaxies  in your blood tell me about your origami bones your transparent heart tell me about your shadows describe your shade tell me about passion in your veins tell me the things only walls and cold air know

-unknowing me-
We fight over strawberry milk Ripping waxed white paper And now I’m drowning in that pastel cream Always drowning The sickness covering me Covering everything, sticking to the walls, the floor, the ceiling, my hands anxiety living in my blood, staining the sink, bathroom tile, caught in the shower drain, hiding in the ditch.  The world is swimming in those ocean eyes, watering because the body knows its demise. The world is drowning in acrid breath Perfection soaked stomach acid, throw up black paint to match your state of mind. I thought it was going to be pretty Like the shade of cherry blossoms the shade of strawberry milk Not bright red blood

-Stomach Acid-
I can feel the gravity around me I can hear your blood moving in this echo of silence The impossible smoothness of a voice, impossible to exist, silky like the whisper of a breeze The world is huge but so small in this moment, time stands still and if we try, counting the exact number of stars in the inky blue sky would be feasible We are of the dark, fire flies burn away the sounds of the city at 5:16AM Electric blue eyes see your face in neon detail, slightly shaking hands trace their definition of perfection What if the ozone shattered, but breathing isn’t for anyone who’s seen the universe thru rose colored contacts Have you ever tasted air so sweet you could feel the glucose in your flesh? Have you ever felt the forest only thru your feet? Heard the sigh of May? The sky changes color with our breath, glass eyes begin to close We’re sleepy so flowers grow in our bones, waiting for this town to wake

-Too Early to Be Awake-
can I crown you with my love? it won't be the crown of scarlet i've worn before it won't be covered in blood, or shadows of bathroom mirrors or evenings left alone under street lamps it won’t be made from fear it won't dig into your flesh it won't ,and i hope, make you cry no it will be none of those things it will be made from lovely things like flowers from spring light pink lavender purple and pale blue to show i care for you it will be made from the gleam found in the highs of a night sky the cool silver light that reflects in wide eyes it will be made from golden afternoons stuck in rooms that don't feel lonely cause i'm with you it will be made from the first snow the pure white that makes everything glow it will be made from the peacefulness of evening that are filled with sleepy breathing it will be made from a warm cup of tea when you're sick it will be made from cozy sweaters in a million colors it will be made from letters and post cards to keep us together even tho we're so far it will be made from a blushed face and a heart you've made race it will be made from badly poached eggs and bacon burnt black and red it will be made from little origami cranes that will hang in the air by colorful chains it will be made from tightly held hands and nervously made plans it will be made from a silent phone call as you fall into sleep it will be made from a soft kiss and pressed in hips it will be made from bad poems that lack rhythm and rhyme it will be made from band-aids that keep the blood away my crown of love to you will be made from all these things and a million more.

lust
the pitch black night crawls over the dimly illuminated town the fireflies come out to play with silver star dust i creep out of the the restly silhouette of my house i have no flash light, no fire, i let the moon lead me thru the echos of night my shadow keeps me hidden well, cloaking me in silence the damp ocean air reanimates me the town is sleepy but i'm awake 3 in the morning has nothing on me
