Gather Me Up, Take Me Home

Folder: 
Shorties

 

I lay everything out 

like a bad dream

inescapeable

 

My palms hoover above 

the table 

Here is the salmon, pink heart

the magenta under my eyelids like

sunsets

the charcoal punctuation of

my iris' 

like endings of a sentence 

 

here is the soul,

smooth

jagged

Chunks of Obsidian

dark, yet catching the light 

off my eyes 

 

the eyes. 

Portals of burnt umber 

Yet truly- they are turquoise lovers

or emerald fevers 

 

deep and constant as the sea
