Alt-Spring
another matcha latte with lipstick
on the lid makes a calm
& daisy-like wish to c u soonest
someone's guitar woos the northbound
traffic like !!!!! but the tune's a small relief
too fickle to compare to your forever fresh
no way to replace how you ripen or thaw
how your green eyes wedge a loveliness bet
-ween traveling alone & boredom
how famous you make a sleepy street after fog
eats all ambition like a bbbbeast
how starstruck you make a weeping willow
do others know? do you know your name
sounds like what becomes of us
when : finally : we flower at your feet?
