One spoon of cough syrup
Pour
Lines pulled against
the currents,
like the strings of my day
and you have set
underneath my
horizon;
flares of your colors
settling into
my earth.
Taste
Read my eyes and
longing looks.
Find the nerve behind
the trail of scarlet
and embrace your
lingering shadow
the one I've learned
to love.
Swallow
Cling to my desire
and entangle yourself
once more
don't struggle instead
press your bones
into my grave
and bury me in your
flesh of broken
dreams.
Repeat
Defrost your denied
approval in
my warmth
and wrap me in
attention.
Turn me into
your poison apple
and sink your heart
deep into my core.
