aerumnous

Who would I be if I hadn’t been frightened? What hurt me, and what would I be if it hadn’t?
— Patricia Lockwood.

what do you need?
four words that punched
a hole in the sky.

lover,
my tissues sparkle
when you ask
questions.

cellular atrophy
via assumption.
your theories of

what is

scorches the tongue
of dragons; what you
will not see
smothers.

I’d rather sip
silence from a slender
vase of rosewater

my wet mouth
bursting with
confidence.

what you see
in front of you
reflects what
you feel.

my heart flutters
as a torn flag
in the humidity,
yet; I will never
surrender to your
vows.

I live for the
potential,
the impossible
flash of stars
striking,

the sensation of
fading love is rain that
unlocks the heat.
