Flickering photos of future folly
Her eyes are iodine
To a scab still suffering
Nothing visable to differentiate
These Hershey eyes
From milk left in the sun
Aggressively subtle
Matched by my coy rebuttle
I adjust my mirrors with a smirk
And look forward
To the next car crash

Fig tree grows in the desert
Cracked and barren
Dried up lake beds
For violently unmade beds
Whisps and blue rush overhead
Shadows sparse but mood altering
Somewhere nearby, snaking roots
Elaborate themselves inward
Below, stale dust of
The stagnant hours
Patient, it keeps
