Yesterday
secure abaft a palisade...
So go busy yourself
with slavish tasks...
High speed connections
and neon lights...
Inside my heart
there is this gloom...
Sometimes I feel I might choke on love,
it can seem so heartless and cold...
I could bask along the shorelines
of a man's aquatic soul...
I told him, dreaming is good
it spits stardust on our despondency...
I heard a song today,
it spoke of love...
With bare, unthorned hands
he scraped my little bubblegum heart...
Sometimes I wish my heart
weren't a field of dandelions...
There's this tenderness
inside my chest...
The air smells of honeysuckle,
it's almost too sweet to breathe...
