try looking at the sun
through a pair of
home-made binoculars
i bet you’ll get circles
on the outside
and deep deep holes
on your insides
the core you are wrapped around
will deteriorate
and you’ll begin to feel
that all you have left
are your bones and the stem

don’t stay after
to watch it turn black
it’ll suck you in
and you’ll never see
that it was suposed to just be
a color;
a shade made by you
like your own royal blue

i’ve got stories about this
and plenty of rhymes
i could send you as a gift
but i can’t find the right box
to put them in
it has to have holes
to breathe out of
and a lid
made out of a net
to capture this
i don’t want it to jump out
and be a suprise
i want it to stay inside
and help you for days
