Sestina 3 - Salt toffee

Your brittle calcium coated voice slides down my throat like water, little blue gods of poetry. Nothing to do but fuck and fight. There’s a run on sentence in my veins whole flowers framing my bruises. My bone quiet bruises wait five miles from your medical voice, english coastline of veins covering my anatomy like large bodies of water. Fuck yesterday’s fist fight you left your apologies in poetry. My alcoholic poetry a blood orange coated in bruises a history of last night’s pillow fight catching religion in your voice. The swallows splash in water quiet in my dessicate veins. Fields of goldenrod veins make my honorary poetry a theory of cursive water. Leave aching vegetarian bruises on my calloused voice from tearing open the sun to fight. A polaroid water fight rolls around in my open veins a punctuation of your raspy voice, hospitalized my skin in poetry. A reckless consumption of bruises with a mint leaf in a glass water. Soft echoes burn across the water silver scissors in a domestic fight running away from bruises and mountains of veins. My second language is poetry giving my fingertips a muffled voice. Empty water pleads with your broken voice, makes me fight against pleated poetry and pomegranate bruises tighten in my veins.
