Lips kiss carefully leaving me craving for the carvings dug deep within your undeveloped brain
I found carnations pink as your Italian cheeks left on my dusty dashboard in the midst of summer when I climbed back in heels over head after the jeep flipped over
There they lay limp and lonely telling me stories stuck within their thin throats and warning with their petals pointed towards the sun
but I’m bleeding nostalgically from my nose licking the beet red bath from my upper lip speaking with no teeth left salty says my tongue but I see bubbled blotches of someone I used to call “baby”
Maybe I taste the bittersweet bouquet of stale rain after all, Maybe I can hear the clouds gaining weight when I listen close
