Yellow
Just Loitering in the Solar Plex
A glowing ball of putty pulp
Squelching around deep in your abdomen
It flinches at the splash of alcohol
Cased in skin, cloaked in black and blue
When you want to hurt, and you take off your head
You crawl into the costume of your old self
And shoot off howdys in beaming globs
That stick to my brain and my fingers
I am worried
And I loved you once
So my fingers stick to the screen,
Though the gleam’s all wrong,
The light cuts up that ascorbic stain
Yet I’m tethered
And I try to connect
As you try to connect
As the ball tries to UV blast
Through the blue and black
It doesn’t
It bounces and braces and reaches and swims
In the burning spirits that eat it and feed it
It’s thick and alive and trapped
Cased in skin, cloaked in black and blue
I am worried, and I loved you once
