13/30

birds nibble holes in sunflower leaves
makes them ugly
we can’t have pretty things
while starving

coughing dreams chase away crystal bubbles
rips the cord
we can’t see pretty things
while starving

body aches where fingertips should be
craves what neverwas
we can’t be pretty things
while starving
