Fragile Don't Touch
January 8, 2013
1. This is macadamia.
2. This is malnourished and uncomfortable.
3. This is a book of nightmares trapped within a chapel.
4. This is a time of violets, and this is a time of violence.
5. This is the baptism of your cold puddle eyes. This is the layer of holy water between your skin and my skin.
6. This is you. Irrevocable, irrepressible, irredeemable Lucy, I am thirsty for Windex in a way you would understand. You are resting your burns and blisters on my arm, your fingers smell like rubber balloons and acid rain, and I am vomiting up diamonds.
