Without even trying, your whiplash eyes jolt me
all the way down to a complete stop.
How is it a girl can grab a boy
so easily by the soul and peel him
down to the core
like he’s just a blushing red apple?
Eve, you know
affections, like peeled apples, spoil
if they sit out too long,
and we’ve been here so long now
it feels like Eden is dwindling---
or maybe it’s really just us.
all the way down to a complete stop.
