Pear

White blossom
Beautiful
One day
Until then
I wrap you
In a moist paper towel
And a plastic bag
Vacuum sealed
In a dark cupboard
Warm
And wait
As I eat the flesh left behind
For germination

The radio plays:

What the people are saying
And we know every road, go, go
What the people are saying
There ain’t no berries on the trees

C

There are hundred ways
I see you
You are my view
The reason for my coastal home
My chosen αδελφή
Future μεγάλο όνομα

Phonetic θείος

A language I cannot grasp
Speed of light
My first note
Pencilled
The start of a lullaby
Twinkling diamond

Hot head

Burning up
Red-faced
Disgrace
Like an object
That constantly
Rearranges
So strange

The heat is on
I feel eyes
Pulsate

Crackly hat
With a motif
Of a fruit bat
Rolled up over
Shaved off eyebrows
Frowns

Stumble down
A gravelly Owwwww

Secret Santa

Seven Christmases ago
You drew me
In Secret Santa
And drew
バッドガール
From ノーモア★ヒーローズ

I went home and cried
Cried because I was tied
And tired
I tried
Like pleather for breakfast
Pop quiz

In that dress
I stared
At the frame on the wall
That was the cue for me
To go
To you
