my skin shrinks away from your sun
i peel to forget you.
i use four letter words like i use
you, precisely & firmly.
your magic wand.
(you only make me dizzy when i stand
in one place for too long)
you lack imagination but
i am always an empty canvas willing
to be painted on. it all adds up to
Nothing, really,but isn't it something,
the way i would always bend to your
broken posture. now my skin only
shrinks away from your sun and love, i
can always peel to forget you.
