RITUAL
everything you do is a ritual
you hold death on the back of your eyelids,
feel hands where there aren’t
you can be a wild animal
if you want to be
after all this time,
i am scared because i should be
LIME TREE
the moon has flesh
and i bet it feels like yours
home is a letter on my wall that says
“it’s okay, you’re getting better”
there’s a lime tree where
you should be you speak to every
untranslatable part of me
