Written as part of the Malaysian Poetry Writing Month.

purple flash of light

laminated onto my lavender heart

lean on me with your stalker body

a missing thorn underneath

honeyed underneath

sucking the rose room

the nectar coffin

for our vines to tangle

red blue yellow neon sunlight
photosynthesize

as the shrieks

oh now they're gone

wanted to say your shrieks

conduct my blooming dance

as the thorns riffle the bare

you blend into the clouds
the moon and sun

but who are you

who the fuck are you

all of you i have memorized

all the black red lines dots
and the green purple leaves

all the white lies

i have kissed and licked

and tickled and rubbed

and that fucking tickles

don't call for the sun

please

let my life be purple forever

let my lavenders wilt

let me out

from underneath

i'm almost there
almost
