what say ye to your bouquet cousins?2
Nicelle Davis | Poetry
Hello Pirate. Us Marauders miss you. Hard to be a thirsty bitch.
There are so many boats parked in the sand. This is what want
does to us. Here is the vessel without the ocean. You’re the ocean
with no need for containment. Do you know a flower’s scent is
their way of screaming? Something is coming for our heads.
I once used pollen to stain my eyelids yellow. I was too young
to fear their tiny dancing feet. Bees gathered in my eyes.
