i’m blossoming

I eat flowers for breakfast, but the flowers do not die

They sit inside my stomach as they swallow my insides

My intestines are replaced by leaves and dirt and floral blood

As the flowers drop their petals from forever blooming buds

And the petals, soft, creep up my throat until I breathe no more

They spill out of my mouth until my jaw is feeling sore

So I pick their velvet off the ground and eat flowers for lunch

Because my stomach’s on the line and my diet is the punch

And my heart begins to tremble as roots shoot up into my veins

And bulbs planted in my head sprout holes right through my brains

And blossoms bloom and blossoms bloom and blossoms bloom again

And so I eat myself for dinner to stop, forever, pain
