Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass — Chapter no 12

Sugarfish

Lemme stick to something sweet

sugar on my hands and feet

Sugarfish San Vicente

sugar sugar in my teeth

from your kiss you texting me

from the movie theater seat

Dodger Stadium Slurpee

white confection in the sea

powder waves froth over me A fortune teller once told me do things that you think are sweet and a sweet man is sure to follow.

So I made a bath that night of honey

dipped my toes in rose and money

stayed all night in that bathwater even some I swallowed.

Now there’s so much sugar on me

I can’t keep the bees off of me

even most of my thoughts are charming some are blue and borrowed

Sugar sugar lips and teeth

fingertips touch emojis

hard forever

hearts on fleek bb please come over
