not the best

[shrugsnkisses]

Will you look at those baby blues?
Will you god damn please look at those baby blues?
I see skinny, white flesh
burrowed over red rot.
Honey, just lay in this bed of infected cotton.
Swimming backstroke
dusting the disease right off the sheets.
So I did.
(with a gun in one hand)
Just look at those baby blues.
I saw them alright.
I saw them in the dark
I saw them in the night.
Just god damn look at those baby blues
in the hickory brown
velvet green
wheezing coffin.
Baby blues are a gift
just like poison for Romeo,
and a knife for Juliet.
