Watch Me Evolve

fall like leaves on your grounded roots

quick wit, sharp tongue

what’s the harm in having fun

blue eyes, starlight, one more lap

toss my legs across yours, one more time, just say my name

force a photographic memory,

mind don’t fail me now

his profile between my thighs,

coconut scented hair falling in his eyes

trace my skin like your favorite piece of art

writing and reading and knowing,

and thursday is light blue

and I am building ships in bottles

wishing you liked my perfume

walking chalk sidewalk mazes

etched in the memories

of my mind

a superficial cut

that still draws blood

and the pen that tows the line

summer is a dew drop

and only a few days

the first crisp sip

my bare feet drink

fragmented continuation
