Full Fear Frolic
I.
Stranger, I
hide beneath black
scuffed boots crawling
after left
over pieces of shadow
hungry for your salt sweet neck.
Blooming, I
can’t get through
too heavy for the sky
will I ever
Let you
enter
me
taste milky liquid
aftermath
Come closer, no
inch away
or petals will drop
and you’ll know
everything.
II.
You know
everything
will drop petals
let heavy aftermath
through the blooming sky
Inch closer
taste away
milky liquid
come
will enter
Sweet salt left over
can’t I neck
your hungry shadow
boots scuffed
crawling beneath
black hide stranger
Roses bleeding
ever after
strange bird
I leave you
humming.
