perhaps the most complex feeling / is feeling everything at once / the sympathy of a lover

Feet
My feet are disgusting and horrendous / Crooked toes and calluses tell my stories / the pitter patter of them on the kitchen floor, trying to be quit and not wake up my parents in the mornings when I was little

acrylic dreams
sometimes she daydreams about life the way i do about death. it's ironic, i know: black and white aren't meant to be grey and the rumbling hum of expletives digging into mauve lips pass through like desaturated light to translucent statures. it makes everything seem sweeter than it looks. she thinks the ache feels lukewarm, just like those half-hearted smiles she gives out like presents on a holiday, and she may be right. pain is not cold, it covers your entire heart with microwaved fingers, leaving burn marks that leave chars and ashes. snaps the purple heartstrings and clumsily tries to mend it. / (i love you because you're corporeal, she murmurs, you keep me sane) / she's spider-webbed, sung gossamer and silk while her bar lines drip with ink. and she seems moonstruck—because of me she says and blooms throughout my epiphanies. fancies herself a ghost, a wisp, something ethereal that lingers on my lips like a kiss. and she lingers, oh she does. toppling from the skies and collapsing into my rib-cage, she stays, blushing rose-like and thriving. velvet and constellations of blood clots patter against her skin. it blooms like she blooms, a paint splattered canvas meant for all to see.

Fungi
The pitter patter of rain echos through the soil, / sending a message in morse code. / Biological clocks begin to turn as fungi wake from their slumber.

Uncertainty
Pitter patter, / Is that the sound of the drops of rain streaming outside down my windowpane or is it in the pain I am feeling while the tears cascade down on my swollen cheeks? / I try to speak but no words come out,

The flowers are exceptionally cold this season / The rain leaves much to be desired / Mr. & Mrs Sunflower are expecting seedlings.
