I like my head thick
Skull white
and weighted
The thought
The temptation
Of bones relapsing
to new places
Of glass
and gardens in vases
Falling
Splitting and bursting
And reflecting in the sun
Like how i know
who i am
The sound
The soft pull
When wine hits the ground
When teeth wrap their tounge
And metal rises in throat
When you close
And turn and turn
Or feel the pretty burn
Of blood on your lounges
And earth
Earth is alive
Always
Always
In you
The aching wound
The rasping rash
Of too much
Or not enough
Takes me
Heals
And holds me
I cover myself
With falling cherries
And wet petals
Until the bugs crawl back
Awakened in their trance
I am brought to life
To see
The decomposing
The muddening
Of my very own body
But i am already blooming
You see
I want you to believe
I am in my prime
The right color and sound
Don't notice
The colour pouring over the ground
A slit in the stem
Its me not them
Patterns and petals unflolding
No turning back
But please not this
Not this
Not this
