Flowers from Limerant by Bird Feet

You whispered my name
like it was the wind and I
I took it for truth

When you sleep you are
folded like a beam of light
picture of beauty

You told me white lies
maybe you believed them though
I know that I did

You were beautiful
I fell unexpectedly.
you didn't live up
to it.

I see your image
I breathe the words I love you
an incantation

When you say my name
it pierces through my sternum
I think I exist

Liminal and sweet
it felt real for a moment
but illusions fade

You said you liked me
but promptly lost interest when
out of sight, out of
mind

You will consume moons
the way you eat my body.
You will break your chain.

Freezing when nervous
you soften up after dark,
unpeeled and tender.

Burn a candle down
until its wick is swimming
romantic object.

Limerant flower,
will you fruit? I am not sure.
But I am hungry.
