when that strange man in the park asked me if love could cause physical pain i told him that i fell in love with a smile once a smile that lassoed and squeezed my heart and lungs until they were one boiling *****
a smile that buried into my back pulled out the pink shy parts i paid an expert to destroy pink devils i cried into my cousins shoulder on autumn benches pink tears
i fell madly pinkly in love with a smile plucked like a fish from dark winter water admired looked after worthy of inspection smiling breath on my scales and back where the pink between them is apparent
then hurled back into winter water where the day discharges slowly over the grass in the courtyard.
i told that strange man in the park my pink insides fizzle-pop like meat on the summer sidewalk when i imagine the smiling angler making that next pull
admiring and smiling cradling the back like a pink chalice
That one thinks it's first catch. As did I. Dark lip burn marks On the pink. Physical Pain.
