like candy, like death
these moments can harden a person, turn a fire into a freeze
someone is lost, buzzed, high, tricked. a body crumbles with excess
trapped in metals, teeth, salves and saviors
the way the tongue burns for more, there is no saccharine ending
 |
| but aren't the ladies lined up like jawbreakers in a candy store? |
don't drink the sun don't drink the distraction
even the shadow appears delicious
this is a reminder of all the pretty things
between here and they're still
walking back and forth without permission without
cotton candy, diabetes, crash & crumbs, your words
the snow will cover, the dogs will lick
sugar rivulets & rivers, white creeks & sweet lakes
love this
