poetry, feb 24

Rubies slip from your mouth
crimson in fresh snow banks
majestic as I cut my thin skin
on each one, trying to collect
riches you say are for me but

        I’m growing colder and
        there’s nothing I can do
        to collect these gems
        without deeping my wounds


                        wind whispers in my ear
                        the way you once did
                        before I found you in the kitchen
                        eating a sliver of the sun


                                                        as if this would have
                                                        no consequences
