whatever happened to getting nude for eachother online?

saw you with the boy who has the sun

for the colour of his hair

and i tried to feel the depth of his warmth

but it curdled like 2 day old milk on my refrigerated skin

to me, a trojan horse

whatever happened to getting nude for eachother online

i see the picket fence you’ve put up

but at a foot apart i see the sparks of its barbed wire

is that how he obtained his heat

by holding on until brighter roots sprunge

and did you hold his hand for your heart

or did each pulse remind you of the importance of your image

you use the dew in your blades of grass to wash my blood off of your hands

and use my empty skin as a receptor
