crystal

fortify my tastebuds

tell me what direction i must drive

to have a taste of the upside-down future

boxed glass

but who am i

to sleep all day

and explode into a sprinkled violence at night

rimmed clarity

i am silent on your lips

and sour in your brain

silence when i’m missing and you die
