localized to the legs
(a)cutest psoriatic oracle
like built in mood rings

sweet small scaleys
pink – red heart
shapes indicate
how pissed off
or stressed out

but its just
desserts
in reverse. raised, thick like braille
leaving pieces of me                        behind
wherever

I                             go    .             ..

in your sheets
and in the back
of your itchy brain
scatt er ed on your carpet
and you will love it.

You always said Lovers should be lovers. I knew this was true, because I heard you say it in your sleep. Your sounds were high definition, like you were closer to God with a pipe in your praying hands. Your wheezing set flame to my foot. By the light of your computer screen, I rummaged your desk drawers like a vagabond to find your red inhaler. I was immediately concerned and desperately in love.  My sleeping, wheezing angel had half empty canisters of dizzying depression stashed away in dusty corners. Your wheezing made sense. No use in hiding mine, now.  I wrapped my lips around the nozzle and opened my heart to you. Our sins now in sync, I laid my head on the yellowy pillow next to your sleeping, talking head and listened. I listened to your somniloquy loud and clear like crystal meth.
