maruku like those struck by lightning
like tantalus
sucked by a hideous leech, disguised as insecurity
oh, woe is me.
hehe.

the lemonade sweats
Thriving for attention

birdmad the open oven breeze and the cruel sun

i stay here in the driveway beneath its shadow. daylight has never been a real friend of mine.

if i stand in the dust storm,
when it comes
i think i might fly apart like a poorly made scarecrow

coherent?
maybe

cohesive?
not lately

raze cold_sweat covers my face. the cost of taking back what's mine. i swallow the flash flood in my mouth. it's so far from being enough. i chase it with the words only my fingers are fit to speak, let my hands move where they want to, and the discomfort fades. 220109
