strawberry lemon strawberries lemons
sipping cups of hot tea on a hot day
hot tea hot day hots teas hots days
u know it doesn’t matter, wanting
u wanting language that’s all it was
wanting u wantings us the words
just say them again, strawberry lemon
strawberry strawberry lemon, see
they don’t mean as much
in my mouth my mouths
saying them on a hot day
hot days saying them
strawberry lemon
strawberry straw-
berry lemon sip
sip sips sips sip
the words
since when was saying them out loud enough
nothing is nothing is lemons and wanting
the words yellow & yellow & yellow
i’m not going to say the unsayable
u don’t deserve it & idk how
to say yellow & yellow louder
the seeds on the skin
are enough nothing
since when nothing
in my mouth i say
nothing
