Thank you knife
Thank you knife
Born of fever-whisper air
For severing the heartstrings
I never even knew were there
.
Thank you lemons
Thank you lemons
For trickling over papercuts
Burning skin into a clean slate
Like smoldering cigarette butts
.
Thank you
Raw sugar
For sticking to me
A kleptomaniac con
.
An unmixed drink
Tea made from ashes
Of bridges we burned
That aren’t quite gone

Thank you
Sunlight
For painting the dawn
Illuminating trees
Waking my eyes
You are summer
You are a deathwish
You are here
You are distant
You are the glint
In God’s unblinking eye
Breathing the trinity:
life
is
persistent
