my flowers are about to die
now the sun is falling later
& i’m getting
everybody high
because
everybody wants
to get high.
april comes fast, every single year.
there are always distractions.
i need a certain kind of fuel to start
the flame inside my being.
my words are a sort of music
which hold their own without
a melody or tune to hum:
exhale & your world is enveloped in color. our scars match up like we’re in unison together. my refrain is tired. chorus outstretched. she’s waiting for something worth waiting for ;
tie my bones together with piano wire.
