What hope do you put in love?

in pavement-dank shadows, the hidden boxes

grout laced.

the children play with chalked fingers-

they are birds

biting at the toes of passerby.

oak eyed and bitter palmed-

they are dandelion housewives

who scratch at the fringes of dead factories.

 

gathering in supernova thumbprints

the walls bloom

with their saccharine heartbeats.

maroon twilight

and they are soft and wilted,

apricot eyelids painting

the vaulted ceilings of their minds.

 

They are endless.

High-five.

 

That's all.

If you want to view paradise, simply look around, and you will. Anything you want to... do it. Want to change the world? There's nothing to it.
