ASHES AND BIRTHDAY CANDLES
your birthday was halo-lit nights and cigarettes in sugar cakes—
melted icing smeared over the tips of flames snuffed out in the dark.
you asked for a songbird, said your lungs were burnt with apocalypse dust

Anthophile- MK
I was once a girl in love with a flower,
delicate and soft.
So I picked this flower and brought it home,
deciding it was better off with me.
If only I knew calamity would follow
if the flower was no longer free.

Scraps
Ask for help
They tell you,
But when you do,
They refuse to give it,
Be yourself
They chant,
But when you try,
You're told to hide away.

Denial
It was real hard
To cry until I saw the altar
I just couldn’t believe it,
Ya know. ?
These kinda things happen to
Other people, not her

Bumblebee
Here's the key
To surviving the bumblebee:
First,
Never put that left index finger down on the C
When you see a D right after - it will slow you down
And the goal is
As fast as you can go
-
melting over glimpses of you
Wishing I could,
stuck with I can’t
because of nerves
that refuse to say goodbye.
Heart is obsessed,
mind is stressed,
with my heart
yelling at my mind,
and my mind
