requiem

the glass i adore

shines above rotten dirt and molded tomatoes

it gleans for a blue heat and shines the stems squished,

crushed. its thick, warm creak

glides through bones

in a breath held tight, close,

kept in murky dirt of dirt

without fuzz. god, parse through soil made

with an unmaking and suffocate in its stench,

my glass taps words above grass

which is the love i have not wanted

well. where did the vegetables go? meet me

where my hidden vegetables went,

where green and unmaking

are never spent.
