thoughtless
there’s something
wrong with the
way my knees
touch, my neck
strains just to
glimpse you.
you told me i do
not need to be
an artist or a
goddess, just me.
smelling like cigarettes,
fidgeting, nervous hands
silent silent mouth
wide-eyed, i end up cutting
my skin on the fingers of
trees.
my organs were
replaced with black
lilies.
and he spoke to me
his voice full of
ocean and smells
like nighttime grass.
rained on, splashed.
