Defusing Sunshine

Sometimes I feel like petals pressed

and adorned on pages to be admired

Except I have nothing to show

but my wilted and rotting image


I long to feel the pain of a 

beheaded dandelion

To have my guts strewn out

for the sun to dry and decay


My roots are starting to reveal themselves

and I can't sit through another sunset.
