unlit matches

sweetness, i was only joking

bubblegum stars
do you ever pop out
of reach?

when you're chewed up
and useless is that
why you fall?

spat out by a
galaxy,
dissatisfied with
your flavour.

oh my bubblegum stars
could you grant me
a wish,

a fortunate kiss?

i promise
not to dismiss
your generosity.

candy floss sky
why are your clouds
so sweet?

they could
rot my teeth.

candy floss sky
i wish to be
high,

never come down,
or touch the ground.

sugary air,
your toxins drag
my eyes and

i can taste
sleep,
all too delicate
and soft:

a marshmallow dream
where this sugar crash
is a sour demise.
