Watching the world through two holes in a tiny stone, squinting as it colors
gray and the leaves turn to wisps of butterfly lemonade drops that dance
along my paper shoe like ballet music notes on acid
To the winterspring rhythm of the green velvet puppet show and lithium
breathing circling around tawny rose-petaled eyes
Dancing in marmalade and jumping through trains with little golden poison
bracelets, i hate the world, i hate them all.
Cross-eyed lying, dripping dying as the glare of the yellow flashlight burns
my mind
Hang up the phone go away and leave me alone
The seashells watch through sorrowed eyelets diverting destination curved
and curly please don’t change your name
I love you I hate you but I love you and I can’t help it, you don’t see them
dancing in the rain? Purple and yellow and fading green-black-white, tell me
the truth at least
Queens of vine and queens of nothing, unlatching nonexistent doorways to
nonexistent galaxies where she sits in her garden waiting and pretending,
legs crossed unaware never believing and only making promises that she won’t
remember the next day
I wish she’d remember or I wish that I’d forget
And the other one sent upward from the underground who didn’t really love
the sunlight, who truly despised its warmth and bitter comforting desires,
she wants the one she cannot have and she doesn’t believe in human nature
anyway
Willing to embrace and longing for the signal of silence the essence of
imaginary permanence an illusion true, cause nothing lasts
The mulberries fall, leap really they do and down to the concrete left
bleeding in black and all alone, I wouldn’t want to jump alone but maybe you
would
And once the world is gone, down to the depths of eradication even though
they never existed anyway, once they are gone because we’ve killed them all,
I hope that you won’t leave me.
