it_cannot_come_to_good
blueberries_for_you in the time i am away from you, i lose
my skin, a unravelling of protection.
not the snake that slithers out of the impending past, pushing forth out of patterns of texture and color to reach,
but more so the tree, attacked by insects, that drops its bark, rendering it vulnerable to disease.

wrap me up in the cloak of your love.
smother me with many kisses, like scarves that only allow my eyes to be visible and then press them with your fingers so the lingering touch will warn them to be careful of what they look upon. when the cold tempts, the warm heart will not know.

if i am to be in the absence of you, alone, it cannot come to good.

...
little fury bug
i built things up to reach the sky
but on weak foundation
every beam and brick
weighing it all down
holding it all up
the sticks and stones
about to crack
under the weight and pressure
but my tower touches the sky.

in danger, slightly swaying
foreshadowing of crashing, falling
and it'll all come tumbling down
the higher, the greater the fall
the bigger the cloud of smoke
that will complicate it all.
