Sudden Denouement Literary Collective
Pushing dandelions in
defiance of dying roses andÂ
their bodyÂ
count of thorns.Â
You wanted my final formÂ
like some daisy to adorn andÂ
I could ogle likeÂ
neat whiskey and nostalgiaÂ
goggles.Â
Baby, we’re just drunk off old ambience (the taste is God awful).Â
So pour me your best, let’s ward off the impossible, faults in our Zodiacs and other stars we can hobble with long odds.Â
One more forÂ
the road, to warm theÂ
bones one becomes asÂ
the underdog ofÂ
flora.Â
In this diaspora of roses, you’re the flower I clutchÂ
closest when I’ve sworn off beauty like booze,Â
hungover from the human interaction of being given something to lose.
And yeah, I’m pushing the lesser ideal; wild oats over discipline, trading aesthetic for carnal sin,Â
but that’s the appeal-
true love on a whim ain’t pretty in the morning but you always tell
her she is.
