(paint on my palms,
skin, like wax.
melt. melt. melt.)

i have a fever
and you tell my
mother i will die.

but i have water stuck to the walls of my throat
and inside each strand of hair. i tell you.

i am drowning.
proper title; sounds, in relation to the heart.
this poem makes me tired.

You are a master (mistress?) of
exposing and expression feelings,
its quite amazing to read sometimes.

Concerning tiredness:
When the world burns us like cheap bacon
I always try to remember that we can always flipside and try to take the heat anew.

Concerning answers:
'If you think education is expensive, try ignorance'

Derel Bok.

Irrelevant probably but it made me smile.
Hope you do too.
