twenty two. sugared petals and pangs

my body is the hollow hide
of a plum tree that rotted
in the driveway. when i leapt from the car
and was dropped in pink gravel some summers ago --
where lavenders buzzed with bees
in a honeyed morning glow.

i was one wet droplet of sleep
away from a star gazing, stellar-glazed dream.
it was enough to make me weep:
those cloud-soaked nights where the doors
rattled with rain that i could not keep --

and my newfangled mouth knew
with its milk teeth and kitten mews;
that it was play pretend in sweet fangs,
sugared petals and my love's pangs.

and my newfangled mouth knew with its milk teeth and kitten mews;that it was play pretend in sweet fangs,sugared petals and my love's pangs
