the golden fish: dear world

Tuesday, March 13, 2012

lay your ribbons

throw your stars

slide your lights

across the skin of me

let me do

what i know to do

and ask no questions

tell no lies

be as real

as you imagine

i am

"dear world, burn me

gluttonous eyes of skin
stretched wide like a net
forcing the inevitability
of mass collision
and ingestion
until your whole self dilates
in response
as the world gets bigger..."

steven said...: hi valerianna - actually this was taken two days ago in toronto's kensington market . . . i was sitting inside the garden of a shop and looked up and there were all these lanterns and the branches and what you can't smell is the amazing bakery just across the street and then the chilean butcher's shop i went into to get some takeout empanada's . . . steven; March 13, 2012 at 3:59 PM
