oil spill

why do i keep on looking for love

in the sand?


or in the naked trees that shiver when

the wind breathes


or in the blue forests where the

foxes don't stay


or in the land of honey where the

world is yellow,

but it isn't sweet


so, why did i sleep in your neck

when i could have been a full moon?


i could have made a home out of

the sun's dead glow


but, i stayed in the cold

because my heart is gold

and today, my heart is gold

but there's a tint of steel


so, i left

for the ocean

and i left you

in the desert


and you melted like

a popsicle on june 21st


i watched you and i didn't save you

because you could've picked anywhere,

so why did you pick sahara?


i could repeat the same rhyme,

but we all know how that ends

and i shouldn't have to tell you again


a poison jaw

an oil spill

and a cold,

decaying

kiss of brittle

ice


p.s.

fuck off

or, drown in

a witch's spit


p.p.s.

burn bitch burn
