i live inside
i live inside a rosebud
my limbs
bend
to fit
between
the wino red petals.
i am waiting with aching head
broken bones
mole eyes
and brick soul
for life to unlock my floral cell
let a sunrise as wide as the
west rest against my pale shivering body,
a sunrise flow without bounds-mythical ocean that
devoured ships and bred creatures the size of long island-
the irradescant glow of slow smirk from wild eyed girl
you know could love you with exact intensity
as the dark 2 am sky,
which is as deep as the sunrise is wide.
i am waiting for those nails
to pry apart the folds and release
my scent into the world,
but by then
i will be old
with wrinkles and folds of my own,
and then i'd have to ask:
was this sun as beautiful as what others told?
