like gospel your words stuck in my head
branded, seared, imprinted each syllable
on my skull’s walls and crevices
liquid warmth filling up my edges
it tastes as if it’s so comfortable that
it starts being uneasy
it burns like the day
i started to play with fire
i forgo of my past
the future like a forest fire-
inevitable; and it happens to be summer
the present heavy in my veins, no bargains...
