Sun, bath me in smooth gold honey

Warm me up, let me know you’re there and be relentless.

My skin, now as light as the stars

Take it up, let it soak in deep and touch bone.

3 drags.

Hang it out the window

3 drags.

You’re confused

3 drags.

Hang it out the window

Sun beats on your face as you make you’re way down the road.

and through the streets. Listen to summer’s heartbeat.

1. 2. 3.

Now think, “What did I do to deserve this

You’re not complaining, just confused

You have a car to drive and something to breathe

Now drive.

You’re destination is nonchalant and time matters not

You have everything you want, you need no more.

Take it in. Breathe.

Hang it out the window.

girl

rewrap me in your white sheet

give me a flashlight

make me glow

grow me peaches

feed them to me

tell me what the sky can mean

show me how to jump into the middle of the lake

show me how to get the stones from the deepest part

and how to then leave them on the shore

make me wan to make a child

make me firebomb a building with a bullhorn and a poem

draw me a picture of what smoking a cigarette feels like

kiss me with how much you love the giraffe

give me a hug

a smile shaped like a zoo

show me how to make cotton candy

tell me a story

tell me something you’ve never told anyone else

help me remember the things I’ve never told anyone else

the trees outside curve like they have nothing else to say to one another

while behind them the cars keep driving north.
