The Emotional Orphan

shit grown fungi

bathtub toxic waste

hurried waiting

for an explosion in spanish

a poison toad that intoxicates

when I licked your skin.

heady green liquid

like dreaming

white curling snake

dancing by ivory

always chasing the snow

before it melts

looking out the window

for the sun that will melt it.

or into a carpet

where it will be ground.

and where you will too

if not in the ground.
