May Fifth-
Coffee Writingwhat do you say to castles and dragons
when you lay to rest, when your head is far from falling off
ink dancing on your neck, words along the ribs
what do you say then, when the ink is a noose and words a corset
and you are just another balloon in this carnival
another ticket for the ride
what do you say when pupils are full,
forever open and wide for everyone to see
how you lulled yourself to sleep
with all the food coloring your cotton candy heart can take
