allergic reaction

a growth has settled under my skin

and my limbs redden and burn

my hand wipes at my hot face

smearing heat to colder places

 

i dig my nails to feel better pains

and write words to forget my hunger

 

when did this happen?

the lack of resiliance

the lack of self preservation

 

doesnt matter

my body is reacting in revenge.

 

 

i feel better

The blue sky has graced my ether again

orange skirts will reappear

yellow and green shoes will pitter patter

and happy sounds will dance above my brow

dime a dozen

looking over images today

of cute things and funny things

of buildings and modernism

of beautiful people and lovely smiles

and all i could see

is you flip through mine so quickly
