Residue

by Ava Blu



my lips are the color of your eyes
chameleon reflection in my teeth
changes every time you shift
towards someone new

camouflage lies
disappearing beneath her clothes

I still smell the shit
underneath your tongue

disgraced between each lover
twisting layers of reality

I won’t be buried beside you

soiled fingers
I’m still scraping your games
off my eyelids.

This is really well done. Sometimes your work makes me feel like I'm watching you create a shockingly real painting. Well done, as ever.
