A natural response to

Instead of vocalizing desire to strangers
Exist in an
                                                                   endless cocoon.

                                                                   Breath like resources, thin.

The hives will swarm in flocks
Gossip about a crumb of food
But I just tilt my head
Curate my thoughts to a sharpened mood.

                                                                  They scatter, like dropping a tub of
                                                                  M&Ms. Little feet fly, Tik Tik Tik Tik Tik
                                                                  Dark pebbles skip on Black Seas.

I desire my life to be pointed
Like my razor pickaxe - exoskeleton spine -
Some cringe at my eight legs
But honey, your cringe is mine.

                                                                  Ballooning purple eyes - intentional.

There's a beauty in the feeling of ants
The squito swirling a man made ear
                                                                  An uneven, unique experience -
Against popping radio music - which memory sears.

                                                                  path down. Emerge.
                                                                  Night vision goggles - directed - sun.

Do not forget my crunch.
Or the wings that bloom from mine.
I'm a diamond to the eye,
                                                                  For only parts of me have died
                                                                  In the coal mines.
