bursting under by ~mySeity:iconmySeity:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Open


Heat, heat
like windows melting,
and the only one who heard
was someone's kid sister,
standing in a blue
shadow, cradling
one hand in the other.

Outside our better selves
are scattering.
Truth carries two black eyes.
Didn't you know
that no one is good
with a swollen face?

We are down to
fingers
tucked inside a
naked pocket too big for
comfort, too small for
escape. And there

is June bursting under
our skin, ripe like
balloons and third trimesters.
Even a world in our mouths
isn't able to hold
what we've tasted
flying away.

we all want summer to be beautiful
but you can't miss the mosquitoes
and pale
perspiration under our skin

I just want time to stop for a while.

if we didn't have to breathe
if nothing would hurt
for just one minute
we'd be okay again, we are resilient enough






(there was no point for my usual syntax-y style in this one, so I caved in)

Who's that woman on your arm,
all dressed up to do ya harm?
And I'm hip to what she'll do;
give her just about a month or two.

and the reason that i laugh and breathe is oh love, and the reason i do not fall into this street is love.
