Today I Practice
painting on my eyes
i used to only fill them in
once i could touch your midnight lids
& feel your supercharged high-shine
i wanted it to stay with me forever
i am blowing poppy kisses to you
their lightness
soft as a swimming
oh
how i love you
like pearls
and ghosts
even when you make me sad
with your need
for perfection
with your no-need
i am wasting time
i am waste
i am brewing more coffee
thinking about the levels
i never know how they work
i am always just guessing
what are you doing now
are you moving or are you sleeping
are you sleep-moving
i wish it was snowing
my fingers are snow
everything is too bright
i want to go back to bed
i want to fall back into our dream
into our
slippery grunts and groans
i used to only fill them in
once i could touch your midnight lids
& feel your supercharged high-shine
i wanted it to stay with me forever
i am blowing poppy kisses to you
their lightness
soft as a swimming
oh
how i love you
like pearls
and ghosts
even when you make me sad
with your need
for perfection
with your no-need
i am wasting time
i am waste
i am brewing more coffee
thinking about the levels
i never know how they work
i am always just guessing
what are you doing now
are you moving or are you sleeping
are you sleep-moving
i wish it was snowing
my fingers are snow
everything is too bright
i want to go back to bed
i want to fall back into our dream
into our
slippery grunts and groans
