Poem About A Fictional Story I Told My Girlfriend

Friday night. I do the honors. I harvest my desire.

I set it ablaze. Wait. Honey. What body part of yours is kiln

For the flame. Can you keep a secret. I never know what

Part of the poem to insert the flowers & dead woods.

Do it here. Oaks. lilies. Daffodils. Sinaloa. That's

Not a plant. Honey. Are you okay. Not sure.

I wrote once. My shadow has deserted me. I really wanted to

Say I was lonely. Okay. Next. Don't show sympathy

For flightless birds. Why. Shh. Keep going. Okay.

I regret letting you escape the crevice of my mind. Is

It safe there. I know what you do when you think of me at night.

Oh, I'm trying to stop. Please don't hate me. The

Rains are coming. Are you still scared of thunderstorms. I’m

Not eight anymore. But you still tell of mother in every girl's wonder.

What Sigmund Freud theorem is this. I like cloves now even

Though I don't know what they're for. How'd you get the scar

On your right eye. It's pretty. I can play the acoustic now.

Let's be mermaids. We're not built for aquatic miracles. Do

You believe in God. Only on Fridays. Why? You know.

I like watching the neighbor sit half dead in his porch. Are

You a bad person? Maybe. What happened when you were fifteen?

I think you pulled your punches when you told me that story.

Maybe some other time you're already crying. How do you end

A poem? Usually with a melancholic phrase or some inscrutable

Question that means nothing. Okay. The aliens in that last film

We saw traded stardust spice for human parts. Okay. Of

What use is betrayal to extraterrestrial species. Why did your

Father hit you harder when you begged him to stop. What

Makes you sure you'll still love me by the end of this poem. Where

Do fireflies and water lilies come from. In the dream you killed

Me on our way to Maria's party. What Miley Cyrus song played

On the turntable. Why did you lie about our favorite song. Where

Was your younger brother buried. That's enough questions.

Honey. You're scaring the kids.
