1.) We leave flowers in vases until they die and never think of supernovas.
We sleep in because nonsense is better than reality.
We take drugs because we want to understand fireflies.
We masturbate the thoughts away and chew our nails instead of communicate.
2.) Am I in your league?
Am I dangerous enough to be your darling?
Do you want me in leather and skirts so short that leaving the house is
an occasion full of trouble?
Remember when our always was a day?
Sweetheart. Sweetheart.
We're all purposefully staying the night with women
we only like
feeling with our lips
when the lights are off
and they're wearing our ex-wife's perfume.
3.) It’s sex so good it’s like deepthroating the knife you cut your wedding cake with. Too stubborn to admit where I belong even when there's a place I can go.
Should I zip the endorphins in a suitcase?
Kiss cheeks quickly and take heeled steps into an airport.
Can you imagine the angel choir chemicals
when I drop my bags and run into your arms? Something like perpetual orange blossoms caught in skyscrapers.
4.)If it were up to me we’d be soulmates.
5.) Call me.
6.) Sacrificing sanity in hopes of song.
7.) I have to rationalize that trauma leads to emotional maturity
because if I didn't throw some glitter on the bruises everyone would stare.
8.) The baby was born to a black hole with an umbilical cord.
9.)Raspberry menthol
10.) Mastering the art of Valentine's Day morning.
11.) I'm near god when I drip.
12.) Happy Birthday! We're tattooing over scars.
13.) But eventually you realize everything's a battle with everyone.
And one day you'll never get to kiss those lips again while
the universe continues to boil and float.
14.) Juliet is the sun.
And no one, not Romeo,
not even Shakespeare,
asks the sun to shine.
It is born bright.
15.) Your intellect impresses gods that make
daffodils bloom in the barren Midwest
and turns fetuses into musicians.
16.) But Eve was not sculpted from Adam's goddamn rib.
Athena was not born from Zeus's head.
Women are born by other women and religion gives credit where it isn't due.
17.) I look for answers in the pain cooking on my spine.
I seek forgiveness in the misty red dewdrops on my knuckles.
It is the red of vulture eyes or aquarium starfish. Even the pretty people are trying to look like the pretty people.
18.) I hate you. Don't ever leave me. Well, nevermind, I have ancestors and angels and king google on my side.
