lawngazing (Free verse) by skaskowski
shake me out,
i'm a blanket full of broken glass
and you need to be warm,
and i need to be wrapped round your shoulders
to feel
safe and secure myself.
so shake me free of the busted bottles
and mirror,
lay me out before you sit down
on the grass, it's too wet
this time of year,
and i need to soak up all of that dew
to feel like i belong
next to you
so lay me out so flat my teeth
jut into the soil.
bore holes into me
if you get thirsty,
the well is just a
drill away.
use my skull as a bucket
if you must,
relief is just a
dip away.
