(when I forget to take my pills)
everything round becomes a gunshot, a bullet
your freckles fall off
one by one
and shoot down the road towards me ( as fast as bullets go
still I never can catch them)
I can never paste your freckles to my face
of everything I want to put my mouth on,
kiss, then never touch again
pillows shrink to the size of gumdrops ( I will never
sleep again)
and I swallow them, cushion my heart
say it is okay
baby baby soul baby arteries
everyone hurts when the pupils still have to grow
it takes time to snow, to become
quiet.
