the sun is coated in a raindrop | 1 |
and the perfection here is unsettling | 2 |
I need to hear an electronic voice on my gps | 3 |
before I believe I've actually arrived in eden | 4 |
| |
I can see the green leaves from the trunk | 5 |
that made this wooden bench | 6 |
my skin gets more and more like jewelry | 7 |
the first instinct I have is to scrape it off | 8 |
and take it to one of those cash for gold places | 9 |
| |
but then I remember | 10 |
the only adornment or legal tender | 11 |
I need now is the honeysuckle | 12 |
and my mouth slowly begins to get reaquainted | 13 |
with the sweetness it was meant for | 14 |
| |
my old life vanishes under the shadow of a flock of geese- | 15 |
the last thing I will ever have to watch die | 16 |
| |
