MAROON ♤ POEMS I

henna

semi permanent craft marker ink,
mathematics class phone numbers,
rich kids drunk in limousines,
you're like henna on my skin.

cut into paled colors with swords,
i draw art on my arms,
my neck,
before i fall apart.

beautiful designs,
henna-like art,
so pure so innocent,
drawn with cold, red, blood.
