Blue Stars and Vanilla Numbers

Stars in shades of navy, denim, cobalt, and pool circle my broken halo. My halo is made of an olive branch. In the almond flavored yellow light of disposable memories, my mother bakes pies for canaries. The coal mine in my heart has been unsealed, and the cutest bats fly out in an onyx symphony of mammalian, primal joy. The canaries sing alleluia in shifts. My halo sprouts thorns that grow into me, piercing my mulberry shaded thoughts with a steady stream of diagnosis for the recalcitrant weather. Soon my maker will sew me into the space time continuum with its vanilla integers in prim rows like headstones.

Love Lives

In the glowing dawn, Morning with her citrus aura sips mimosas and beckons me to come, drink, discuss my love life. I am the ballerina of a song. The butterfly of a flower. The lock for his key. Morning tells me of her long distance boyfriend, Evening. They will never meet, but write epistles of fire under starlight pearlescent and plump.
