boys aren't so pretty once the gloves are discarded
by Vere MantratriadI.
I lived inside a bubble
that you popped
with your forked tongue
II.
sleep is meant for
restless
unbridled
stories of
life and love
and other excretions
III.
cant you find a voice
that doesnt involve
emoticons? >:#
IV.
fine-crafted
wood between your hands
couldnt you caress me
without shaving so much off?
V.
you give me discounts
so far long after
