take the time to seep
into my eye
i will request
consider my irises your
own
oh darling, sweet dear,
this is the way. It goes:
look away and smile to
yourself and i will smile back but
when will we make
contact when will we? take control
admit it. you love me.
ticktock. ticktock.
but my russian isn't
very good, and you see, i am learnin
that i never attain
expectations make me cry break me down
take me home?
i am polite in asking
you: admit it. you love me.
and black celestial
beings will protect me and keep me close
to their sides and i
am, always have been the little one.
green flowers with
purple stems and dying butterflies are my lot in life
a long figure with
striped leggings, metal spiked garter, ivy around the ankle
and a ballet shoe.
a lumpy blue hat with
forks stuck in it and it is calling my name sabrina.
we gaze into dismantled
shady tattoo parlors
each wondering if our
rusty storage containers can handle this much
imaginary scandal.
and i see yellow
calla(lilies) on the tile and they used to match the wallpaper.
no longer. now they
stain my feet. have you seen my optimism?
it is drinking scotch
with a russian ballet dancer,but i told you
i don't speak too well
in english
much less in a foreign
language.
i will pick up those
yellow calla(lilies) and put them in my hair.
smells sweet like solitude
giving them a home
again.
you love
me.
