blind bubbles.

i can’t see you anymore.
bubblegum kisses shot sticky love notes at my face

& i wish you wouldn’t steal my breath
wrap it in salt-crystals,
fold sideways,
and paste a tiny [x] in the corner
then stuff the stamped package of air
where my heart should be.

i’m glad i am blind.

then stuff the stamped package of air
where my heart should be.
