mess

i am goddamned mess
for you my dear
a collapsed house of cards
strewn across the carpet

let me crawl inside your brain
curl up around your amygdala
whisper sweet odes
directly into your inner ear

i took the liberty
of
cutting the brakes
let’s go for a drive
down
that winding canyon highway

but
i am such a
goddamned mess
such a mess
with no hopes
of
an easy fix

if intentions
were reflections
i imagine

i make spectacular specimen of specificity
especially expounding
upon extravagance
within your eyes

  1. this one is yummy.
    i have just read a lot of your work (reading backwards from the most recent) & am debating whether or not to comment, “cheer up, buttercup!”
    & then to apologize for it.
    xxoo
