Full Fear Frolic

 

I.

 

Hummingbird, you

leave me bleeding

roses, strange

 

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.
