This is my first draft and would love some critique on how to edit/add onto it |
| Your tears were hailstone pellets breaking my windshield shoulder that one night a couple months ago. I caught a golf-sized one in my palm and crushed ice to find your ex’s hair coiled between fingers. You were crying over her new boyfriend in Bloomington, while shouting ‘you don’t love her anymore.’ You still wanted to text her to patch breakup, but my yard needs new grass from your fists that broke my soil. You find love in girls with rollerblade minds and spin underneath plastic wheels. One spin, your in love; three spins when things stop working out. Five is when you fall back in love with your ex. But, I am pillow you scream into. You tear fabric, pick feathers, punch through back lawn soil. I am a skeleton whose rib cage traps secrets, and smoke tar to tighten words up. There are too many of your words caught inside my eye sockets and elbow joints, but I keep it safe without cracking my knuckles. |
