Lilac Deppei

Poems (Day Three)

post-new-year's-day reflections

Fogging up the glass window
Racing to draw a smiley face before the warmth wipes it clean
Pinprick eyes and a thin lipped smile
No time to draw anything else

The heat wipes it all away
I had talent, ambitions, aspirations
But I sit here on the bus drawing simple smiley faces
When I should be drawing blood

I unwrap the matcha candy with the little rabbit logo
Waxy paper coating tastes like nothing at all, leaves a bitter aftertaste
So does the candy

My mouth feels numb and coarse
Why do I convince myself that I like these types?
Deconstructing the layers of the bitter candy as I deconstruct myself

null null null null null null null null null null null null null null null n
