She Will Not Be Paper in The Wind
A poem

There she pounces in her tears.
Girl-beast.
For love - in all the bottomless and rainbow voids of it.
She quakes today with spirit, olive branches
Green and bendy lizard limbs - breakable once dry.
I won't know what to say.
I could buy a base ball bat.
No. I'm not, you see, the sports type.
Each turrid grab of his
Should reap my affibly intruded table's poison.
Shit. I don't know how to cook!
I hate this poem.
Sit tight daddy-love.
When you're scared, you just call me.
I'll never make you feel like the world's aged you.
Stick around,
Long as I can still
Try and guide you true
Time to time.
