Selective

I couldn't bleed red
For just anybody, I
Hope you understand

persephone

It is madness who's
Taught glands fill my mouth, I draw
Warmth from her *****

The History: Everything is born from chaos.

Said to a bust in the hallway

Hello, yes, I think
I got turned around somewhere
On my merry way

The History: Lost.

That's what you said to do

Curtsy for the crowd
Stare into that spotlight and
Pretend they're bare too

The History: Performance

Grazed

Fingers set to graze
Like starved cattle or silver
Raised my skin to peaks

The History: I am constantly questioning whether these are accidents or intentional acts. There are two realities now, the one in which I don't turn to call you out, and the one where I do and you make me feel crazy.

blue undertone

Molded blueberries,
I joked of scooping them up
and having a bite

The History: You keep dropping hints. Told me you'd be hard pressed, as would I.

1,000 yards

Those
Glances between speeches
Blue
is my heart and in your
Eyes
Pained is the soul

The History: The 1,000 yard stare.
