pink text with each word on a silver-grey background with rounded corners, the whole of which floats over a background image consisting of a single, vivid poppy, repeated in diminishing sizes
view original work
poppy
and helpless angry as your beauty
snaps hearts in beaks
breaks boundaries in brains
and isolated as your laughter is
while spacesuits leak
and conjured songs go wonky
I’ll sound all white for you
or any colour really
but only if you promise never
to attract me in this field again
never let me see you touch
you hear you scream again
