velvet petal cataracts

i planted a rosebush and named her sertraline

this is what happened when i watered her properly

i kissed a stranger in an underground bar

tucked under the pavement of san francisco

tikibars and trolley cars

still make me think of you

-

i got into a car in a casino parking garage

to smoke hookah with a local in las vegas

i couldn’t find my room at the luxor

he dared me to stay with him a little longer

-

i shared a bottle of vodka with strangers

6 hours in line before a concert in seattle

i seduced the tallest fan

to be my front row man for the night

-

i fall into love every chance i get

and willfully leave my vision a little blurry

velvet petal cataracts

remind me not to worry
