It’s your friend’s birthday double
tap. You are in Sweden
and the photos are like God’s dreams
pouring out of his brain double tap.
You are aesthetic like the way paint
samples line the wall all coordinated
and the way poets finally find that missing
word for beautiful double tap. You
have multiple people around
you double tap. Your teeth remind me
of sunlight double tap. Your partner
kisses your cheek and I swear hearts
spill out from their lips double tap. My
pupils are soaked in small waists double tap.
This feed is too long and over saturated double
tap. Pictures run faster and faster past my eyes
double tap double tap. I want to use all these
colors to paint my life double tap double tap.
My post comes up too little double taps
where are the people where are the rhythmic thumbs
where are the eyes saying that I’m pretty too
that I’m worthy too that I’m interesting too
no taps no taps for me inside me my claws
are freshly sharpened and are stabbing me
one by one.
