clockwork purple
i.
free bacon, egg, and cheese,
cute, smol watch like clay,
a gentle storm, fog-muddled,
irises like ferns, photosynthesis,
straight cheesin' for a cheese
enthusiast, circadian rhythm
reformed, recurring pattern, dusks
and dawns, you polish every moon
and sun, like gravity, magnetic fields,
sweet surrender,
you make the light
peek over
and wash my heart with warmth~
ii.
decorated on the outside,
but empty at the core,
feeling so extinct,
buried deep
like dinosaur bones,
and you say you
see a mirror to
your soul in me,
so it's an excavation,
digging through the dirt,
archaic quartz,
till the stars collapse
and blow apart
*
her black hole-pull,
my sideways eight,
a queen of spades
and her latent bloom~
iii.
dreamgirl, you're fog
on the glass,
in the car, on the road
in my chest,
the soft, quiet sputter
of moth wings
dancing around porch lights,
a glowing silhouette
resting at my fingertips,
a myth made real,
a wolf howling every night,
yearning
for your song
and saving grace~
iv.
and now i brush
cobwebs out
of the sky, and fill
the hollow mountains,
devour tainted
seas, massage worn bones
and write a song for a classic queen,
because idle hands
are the devil's playthings~
v.
yes, you're right, it's
loathesome! -- the thought
of god ripping the sky open
and snatching you away~
