Stems

the unfortunate – sadmen – my gas station earrings – you didn’t see the future in hints –

 

the world exploded at the kitchen sink – left daffodil stems – colliding into – stacked

 

disappointments – collections of memories per person – tabs on where we’d end – liked

 

gas station earrings – the world – ran home – curled in new disappointment – cut sadmen

 

– you didn’t pay attention
