marigold from untitled by Pretty Baby

relapse affection you thought you’d have time to let go
swallow the sobriquet—
innocence, experience for what?


what’s left?
eat up affections swallow the sobriquet
what’s left?
not the lamb
and not the tiger
something eager, spinning like a top
what’s left?
the deepest end
the diving board
the bedroom full of things we forgot
what’s left?
no rest in dirt,
but down you go 
and oh!
the difference to me

1. 
you weren’t
waiting
for us
this time
rosebuds 
chasing
after
4am’s too quiet

2.
“the more the merrier”,
no invite to the burial 
if you found peace somewhere
send us up a marigold
“the more the merrier”,
no invite to the burial
if you found peace down there
send us up a miracle


3.
where is it you go that i can’t follow?
