#insulin - Hello Poetry

Insulate to the sharp needle of insulin – as this pan creases over daylight frying a canopy of trees, left with skins that smell of mould; moulding us into forms that don’t fit, following titles without ever playing the role. Models parade as model citizens, while forests fall around their footsteps; smiles reduced to emojis, connection flat as a screen. Each impression feels like a coded message – profiles lined with Bible verses in their bios, good at quoting scripture, but so not good at keeping notes on The Message. But we fashion ourselves into “the latest,” but our dreams arrive too late, departing long before we catch them. We are all stories inked together from the sharp tip of the pen, injecting more time into our veins, yet living diabetic to our morals – _sugar-high on indulgence, starved of truth._

Diabetic Morals

Insulate to the sharp needle of insulin – as this pan creases over daylight frying a canopy of trees, left with skins that smell of mould; moulding us into forms that don’t fit, following titles without ever playing the role. Models parade as model citizens, while forests fall around their footsteps; smiles reduced to emojis, connection flat as a screen. Each impression feels like a coded message – profiles lined with Bible verses in their bios, good at quoting scripture, but so not good at keeping notes on The Message. But we fashion ourselves into “the latest,” but our dreams arrive too late, departing long before we catch them. We are all stories inked together from the sharp tip of the pen, injecting more time into our veins, yet living diabetic to our morals – _sugar-high on indulgence, starved of truth._
