upholding beauty until it's too much to bear
our flowers melt
for simply having to be there

I arouse
It's a ruse
It's a ruse

a view from without
means release from within

SPLAT

splayed limbs
limber in bed
your bedroom eyes-eyeing me down
i'm lying
you down

drown

touch turns blue
thoughts burn into you
the seeping sleepiness always comes through

bogmedown-yourinmyway-alowblow-youknow-howtowrinklemybrow

purple plum skies silver slithering clouds clementine climbs
on the horizon

heating our hurried hearts
