Close your fuckin' eyes. Eat a fuckin' peach.

I keep thinking that if I peel myself apart
offer up everything I've got
that someone will sit with me
in that special little place
in my rising Pisces Land~
Laying on our backs on the belly of the champagne clouds
Eating drippy peaches with our ripe fingertips
Licking the flecks of dew from
each other's chins..
I keep thinking I can feel the vibration
so close, so close
in my belly and in my toes
But there is a haze that covers it all.
The clouds are simply wisps here
Like the product of an impatient artist and his brush.
And my heart is so simple now, but still
It is soft
too soft now
Bruised from too many fingers poking at it, checking for tenderness
Bruised from too many drops from too high up
Bruised by choice.
If I could just stay in the clouds or on the ground...I'd be content? Maybe.
But I am both here and there
and I guess I take secret delight in these sort of things.
I am tired though.
So very tired.
A tired that my eyes refuse to bow to.
A hunger that refuses to be fed, like a stubborn child twisting its neck.


Close your fuckin' eyes. Eat a fuckin' peach.
