sink in these streams down my cheeks

Water so shallow

I can see straight to the bottom.

Conversation

clearly

not enough to irrigate

the open wounds.

 

Leave me to drown.

Saturate your lies

into some other body.

Use your tears

to water other flowers.

 

I'll lay out and enjoy

while the sun still sunshines.

Time for you to move, out of sight.

You're blocking my light.

Before you make lines.

Permanent lines.
