You drag your pretty coral edges over me and split me to the core
wanna see what you would look like snuggled up inside my corpse
cuz you may as well, that’s what you do to me
quick and deep you make me spill out onto the ground
and I have this to witness like watching paint dry
like an atom bomb in the rear view mirror

Phoebe
The twisted serpents of darkness inside your mind

Blood clots the size of small tangerines

Shot through by a solar glow

Water in your veins instead of blood

The snap of bone like dry twigs in Autumn

The scar across your petal-soft face

Eyelid framed with gold, aquamarine, maroon

Still loving.
A walking brass band
Burn down the street
Bellow to the bystanders
Break their wicked knees

— The End —
