Brittle Bird
Those nights it would rain
Mud and vines grew through my spine
And earth I became
Day 22 of NaPoWriMo. I felt like a nature poem was needed, in honor of Earth Day.

Of the immeasurable beauty of rain and wanting to become the earth itself. Maybe if we try harder to feel connected, one, than it won't be so hard to take care of our home.

I turn people into gods,
I'm upset when they have flaws.

You've got fangs like a dog but you're ******* for blood.
.................
You are not what you seemed.
I see the mark but do not ask what it means.

Twisting barbed wire around your head like a crown, strangling you on the couch... I'm hard to love but you'll never hate me.

Met an angel in an alley,
I'm sure all angels snort dust.
She told me she was lost.

I pointed towards the nearest ditch and said,
"Sweetheart, go home"
I want to delete this but its popular

I hate the thinking about your body in the ground.
ghosts aren't real
but I knew you'd find a way to haunt me
I still have your ***** laundry
and I swear to god it talks to me//
I was smoking when
someone asked
how I deal with everything.
I blew smoke in their face
I said you'll feel this way someday
someday, someday, someday//
I feel the urge to dig up your bones
is there anywhere special you'd want to go?

I fell in love with the darker night.
I turned every glowing light into distant fire flies,
I laid my head in his lap with our fingers intertwined.
His thumb on my thigh, I knew his lips were not mine.
I need a constant reminder that the stars are not bitter,
another reminder the milky way is not glitter.

Oh starlust, stardust
Would you make my wish come true?
