ATTENTION if you please
especially the blondies
One twitterpated day
honeysuckle mist twirls across your forehead
On Repeat: every rosy word he ever said
Hands intwine above your heads
noses press, peppermint breaths
You open your book
he knows it by heart
You fill his pockets with your stories
he fills your heart with fireflies
all tender Sugar Fire Sweetness easy peasy
One pivotal day
A fork in the road
Mask drops, thorns carved across his forehead
blindsighted in a Stew of booze
bravado
expectations
explosion of ugly: Rated R
take the fork
I’d rather sleep than see you.
take the fork
Don’t you ever listen?
take the fork
patronized you to a pulp
take the fork
Shut your fuckin piehole bitch!
take the fork
You are the bees knees
You are fire
You are brilliant
You are a muse
You are a pageturner
You are your own fork
& I am in your corner
always
