Careful Caprices
i left you out
in the rain
so you bled and ran
like the wet ink in my notebooks
that were left by my open window last night
and the earth, my dreams my cheeks
tears ran down all of it
i left you out in the rain
and you bled
into my
dreams
the air circumvents my lungs
vibrating harshly
like violent daylight
like surreal twilights
the sun and the moon
laugh at the edge of the earth
and you are the dust
left in the fuzzy night sky
and you are the fire
left in the bloody psychedelic
sunset, as the sun offers
the west a cloak of new colors
you are angry as you fire
down the mountains, to young to
realize you’ll be back tomorrow
you are too cold as you freeze
underneath the gaze of the misty clouds
crying upon you
because I left you
out in the rain
