i.

beautiful people

beautiful drama

i grow

weary


ii.

i believe they punish me:

if only my smile proscenium

mine skin delicate rose buds

my dreams an apple orchard


iii.

but my eyes

snipers


my heart a ghost

lingers


the scent of melon

rancid


on my tongue/


as i lick beautiful

from their feet


[God]

no mercy

emanates


iv.

i vow to be obedient. cusp of my rage, myself. clasp the edge of an ugly mind; cater to you to beautify me, too. consider my silence validation.
