sanaa-a - Hello Poetry

You have to feel hot to melt transgression Feel **** to see the accursed as ash Felicity never came in a bottle But in waves as loud as your confidence Battering the shore line of shame drawn across your thighs Colonize a new place, make your face say Less, decide you want to change the world Then change it With your nails done, and your hair did There isn't a better way to feel so…female, familiarly God God, ***** Is synonymous with power for a reason

Write love letters to the bones you've starved The skin plump with grief is an envelope A messenger, a telephone wire to the moon so Don’t stand startled when she calls you I have taught her your name It is on speed dial It is painted on the walls of her womb Every night she cradles you in the duvet of her city Telephone in her hand the Sour taste of rejection screaming, wishing You’d answer the ******* phone

Talk To Yourself

Write love letters to the bones you've starved The skin plump with grief is an envelope A messenger, a telephone wire to the moon so Don’t stand startled when she calls you I have taught her your name It is on speed dial It is painted on the walls of her womb Every night she cradles you in the duvet of her city Telephone in her hand the Sour taste of rejection screaming, wishing You’d answer the ******* phone

We met with goodbyes Our future already a deflated hot air balloon Hand in hand our hands always tied to our shoe laces Static skin enveloped in braces Running away was never a choice It was a decision, there is Something about breaking open your skin Something about stupendously stepping over the mark where The runway stops, Something about the first step That keeps me moving Away away away from you

We Met With Goodbyes

We met with goodbyes Our future already a deflated hot air balloon Hand in hand our hands always tied to our shoe laces Static skin enveloped in braces Running away was never a choice It was a decision, there is Something about breaking open your skin Something about stupendously stepping over the mark where The runway stops, Something about the first step That keeps me moving Away away away from you

Sky flows furiously in the Brightness beneath my eyelids Dandelion juice seeps out a nostril Eat me whole, wail The Alps descend to my feet Crevasses between toes A paralysis, I am turning green Gardens rock I sit limp as a leaf Brightness beneath my eyelids Pickle sour Bitter breath Cherries for teeth I scream For order and find trees, trees Choking on bark, brightness beneath my eyelids I scream for order, a suspicious star enters And leaves

I fell in love with your hands before I fell in love with you And when I need a reason to stay your hands say Stay So I do, they are a Church for my prayers where I kneel and evaporate into a Blinding electric blankness Everyday Feels like a good day with you Like a drowsy exhale making your head pirouette I am floating in your vapour and I haven’t known dizzying love of This self- surrender type but I surrender myself to you A maverick martyr giving you blue bones and blue thoughts Take my atomized promises Awfully annihilating the brightness of your shrine Take me in your hands , take me in your hands

You know the song I whisper to myself in the night For I myself sang it to you and I myself let you Crawl into my bed of despair Of desperation and You rolled about Slept in it and Immersed yourself in the nakedness of my being and I was a wilting flower A **** But you didn't care You pressed your Jewish face, hands and tenderness Took in my stubborn scent You made me feel like a rose Your voice always sounds scared and nervous and Agitated It is precious because it can change a universe You’re intelligent but My name is toxic in your mouth you know Saying it kills you It's thick vowels are murderous Mixing with the mourning of a Genetically inherited pollutant elsewhere Deep in your throat hidden and hushed Your mother tongue drowns weeping at your rejection of her My name and her sobs don’t mix well She behaves like acid rain Killing the flowers in your heart and I don’t feel like a rose in that place anymore I feel like I'm a **** again and I just Want to go home

It took 3 years for me to learn but there is a difference between feeling lonely and alone there is life right in the chambers of the heart I've tried endlessly to burn to the ground I cant burn the house I grew up in to the ground no matter what I do 37.2 trillion cells are with me and summer doesn't have to leave if I plant tulips on my stomach I can't lose I can't I can't
