ruby red
dreams last
until morning
your heart shaped scar isn't hiding today
pop a
cherry into your little mouth
and be real as can be
for today

i slowly pull
the moon
out...of the sky
from one murky depth
to another

then (I hang on) to the stars
and (gently fall)
with them

the rush in my stomach
ever-present
yet I'm cal
m

these plants
won't water themselves
green

i am blocked out
by you
they don't love me
I don't love you

love triangle?
not this time.
hate.

the grass grows
around me

as you stomp it
down

they follow suit
