lemondrops
gonna fall from the sky
but they would be the kind
that never scrape the roof
of your beautiful mouth
it's a subtle
devastation
now passing your empty room
where there once slept
a shifting & eternal kind of you
you
say you want to find your birth mom
you say that 9 months
that's a really long time
to carry somebody around
don't you think?
that 9 months
it's a really long time
you want to
hunt her down
just so that you can say thanks
for 9 months & a complicated point of departure
and for a blankness
child wears like a face
i love the
way that you hate roses
you detest everything
that they represent
suburban drudgery, suburban sprawl
you my darling prefer your flowers
a little tossed & windbent
and i'll admit i like you
a little more than i'd like to admit
potrero hill won't ever taste the same
and blessed be for that scar that shadows your lip
if i could i would make lemondrops
fall from the sky...
but they would be the kind
that never scraped the roof
of your beautiful mouth |
