ANTS CRAWLED ACROSS NOTES AND NAMES
She forgot what she wanted to say,
There was too much and nothing at all
The dead leaves began to fall
from the red roses in a white vase
Remembering the sad song
that played over and
over again in her head
She was all alone
lying next to you in bed while
ants crawled across notes and names
petals & bones
I watch you sleep
through a female gaze
I struggle to remember the
names of your bones
I baptize each one
Grind them
between
my teeth
You dream about
sea salt ocean waves
with pink rose petals
swirling around my
painted purple toes
I taste your allure twisting
on my neon tongue
Matching each breath to yours
true beauty haiku
True beauty. Dead roses
In a vase with no water.
An altar to you.
