Pseudopsychosis.

flower-envying
the day of the sea
for dance of tragedy in one key

bleeds, the root
and laz crawls like a dandelion.

shame, shame of the garden
born naked; wastrel-limbs
crawl rain,
winter of pearl sinking
feet

poisoning again
a body
breaking their wisps
and bones, come leaf,

god forbid if I meant it,
lies the stone where i look
through dooms of stars
and fragility of love

I give this womb an air
over the grave for you and I
above.

“So close that your sea rises with my heat” C.Perez ~ Love in a Time of Climate Change
