#wrote in a blind frenzy while wating cherries + playing guitar

[esoteric-dyke]

i want to taste life like

fruit on an

early december morning

like one of those early summer stone fruits

that you see

and buy excitedly at the store-

a cherry a lychee a nectarine a child

a sun that pushes my sweat slicked

hair back behind my ears

and kisses the salt

off my lips-

its pulp pulls at my teeth

and gets stuck

and juice cascades

from the corners of my lips

i have never been alive before this moment

i will never be alive again

buy me a mango

when you get the groceries

today and we will

eat and feel its flesh

under our nails
