[ Featuring Isabella Martin ]
Last night
I watched you
In the beetling dark
There was light
On my sheets
From a pomegranate moon
Red blister
Silver pools
In your lichen eyes
Coral bleached to bone
Needling
And seeding
The dark
{fleshy pale}
I stared so long
I watched your erosion
Lashes fell, deciduous
Oh peeling, dark
Dig up the garden
With an antler for a fork
Collect
Collect 6 stones, smooth enough to skin
Press your lips to the cracks in the soil
Whisper, come back
She'll leave you
Swallow them whole
Slipping through your fingers
Stand on your head by the fireplace
Water running up the hill
Till the ground darkens
And the plants bleed out
In the dark
