Hazel Valley Fever

This light begins heating

And worn now

Days wont bring back the subconscious feeling of love

To the foreground

Exhausted with wings

"What is the deadline?" She asked.

"It's troubling"

I miss you so much

I miss you so much

I miss you so much

I miss you so much

I miss you so much

 

So when the night draws

The day is paint thinner

Psychosis pulls back your sugarcane arms

Away from made-dinner

 

The void is all clouds of star clusters

The smell of a vacant apartment

Swarovski encrusted space

And time follows the pattern of a Gucci belt in a glove-compartment

 

I never wanted to save you more than the time I finally fell

And I knew there was no you

Never to be again

To hold my hands or hold my head up and say “You’re my only friend”

 

My chin wasn’t high enough I guess

Pride drained as skin flushed

Something good please come

Up out the thin woods and thin brush

Episodes of laughter and happy eyes, and I miss you this much

And I picture this love, and I miss your holding, and I miss the way you said to keep my smile

The sway of your voice

To never be just the ‘old’ me

Be a polished boy with stone shoes and gold teeth

Always be grounded, sink your teeth into the dirt of the garden and spit out a mountain

But the walls are closing in

The floor is melting upward

as the ceiling drips down onto the tops of cupboards

 

Where have ya gone, I can’t see you through the flashes

Nor Brandy, or Missy or Maximillion

"What’s happening?"

All these friends stand around with their mouths hanging fish-hooks in either corner

Offering no support other than common-cold-related remedies

Inside a wicker basket

Saying a billion combinations of words already discovered

"It’s syntactic..."

“It’s tragic…”

"But I miss her"

“It’s tragic…”
