work in progress

I tried to formulate words, instead words formulated me

and betrayed me in their fluidity

the ease in which they dripped from my lips

it shook me...til I was shaken and stirred

my words are infidelity, and they cheat on me frequently

I asked my vocabulary if it loves me

cause its so beligerant

and it spills out of my fingertips while I watch helpless behind half-closed eyes

between asleep and awake is the space in which the real I exists

where fate and fantasy collide when I persist

my tragic downfall - zero immunity to the consumption of love

it manifests itself in me like illness

the blood in my body is 13x13 celcius

so vapor runs under my skin until it overflows and wets glossy lips, its lemonade

full clothed I'm sweet and naked

my flower has soft petals that cry pollen to make love to your pores

my spine tightens with this tension

my fear of this is the color lavender

so I overstand you understand how it tortures me

the more sublime of my colors crack so less elegantly afterall

I'm so ashamed of my suffering and...

baby I don't feel good

I miss you like I actually had your heart

if I'm dying in a cocoon maybe I'll emerge without this dust, less pale

...I smile all kinds of maniacal
