Validation In Pink & Red (w/ Ava Blu) by Anita MacMy insides have turned pink
like Pepto-Bismol or
those little candy hearts
bitter and hard
my stomach convulses
and we're bleeding into magentas
blooms of rotten bulbs
begin to turn
as the world smirks on
I'm pacing a heart-shaped path
into the kitchen tiles
hoping the breadcrumb trail will lead you back
but I won't paint anymore colors
because your voice is the carrot that leads me
so I guess that just makes me an ass. 01/21/2008 Posted on 01/22/2008 Copyright © 2024 Anita Mac

No smirking zone... |
