Candy Cane Hair

by @evan-ponter

What are we as human beings. To continue this charade. Feelings don’t reflect emotion. A constant broken reproduction. Something alien. Stuffing toilet paper in our ears to avoid the sound. Like a radio wave you reach me. Through brick walls and curtain calls. Never believing our names weren’t meant to be blazon in neon. Your voice echoes through canyons. Street lights and passersbys. From dandelion pistols. From candy cane hair. I found you like a fossil. Buried deep in my past. Gasping for air. Breathing resentment. “I think you should go.” “I think you should stay.” Forever.
