toes suffering from frostbite

Plaguing me,
Hinting at short quickenings
And tangled pink fringe.

Vomited this mornings happenings

Marshmallows with
Tinted flare
Steaming and comforting

I have a translucent
Chest.
Lungs rise and crash with the batting of butterflies’ wings

I choked on wing dust
As he brushed up on my skin.

When I gasped for air,
his
Eyelashes but fluttered.

The manufactured smell of nature
Lingered about his skin...

“his” touch causes heat stroke





But I’ve got frostbite

Author notes

math was boring


yeah...
