one's
like
a
butterscotch
candy
the
other
is
chocolate
caramel

I
forget
many
things
but
not
the
long
grass
brushing
against
my
thighs

I
catch
the
thistle
seed
make
a
wish
but
wishes
are
not
practical

got
a
black
magic
woman
in
my
heart
she's
tryin'
to
make
a
devil

like
wonderland
the
words
fall
around
me
but
I
can't
put
them
in
my
mouth

I
would
explain
to
you
blue
my
dark
knight
then
orange
the
lonely
hunter

the
pay
phone
as
ancient
ruins
a
generational
divide

with
the
only
sound
for
you
being
the
occasional
lawn
sprinkler

when
we
would
wake
and
bake
with
our
coffees
before
you
were
mean
to
me

it
got
cold
the
cat
bounced
about
the
yard
I
felt
better
anyway

she
asked
me
what
omen
meant
5
days
after
her
5th
year
'round
the
sun

I
didn't
throw
your
shirt
on
your
chair
today
I
hung
it
in
the
closet

I
dreamt
of
mice
I
didn't
believe
were
there
he
tried
to
tell
me

earth
my
body
water
my
blood
air
my
breath
fire
my
spirit
repeat

that
park
I
pretend
I'm
on
the
english
countryside
castle
ruins
behind

she
lived
on
a
street
but
which
street
she
lived
in
a
town
but
which
town

my
cactus
siren
call
my
netherworld
I
love
you
dark
cloud
woman

the
smashed
melon
in
the
street
made
me
blush
I
can't
stop
thinking
about

I
sang
some
poems
we
talked
with
some
wine
I
made
a
couple
days

if
I
was
s'rounded
by
all
the
books
then
only
then
might
I
be
happy
