enamel roses, cherry & granola

looking for my old notebook. didn't find it, but found these.

. . .

eating organic granola and cherry starbursts in a house that smelled like mold, she pressed her face into the sheets and felt the pulse on the back of her neck.

eating organic granola and cherry starbursts
in a house that smelled like mold,
she pressed her face into the sheets
and felt the pulse on the back of her neck,
listening to songs of broken love
and thinking of Someone

. . .

roses bloom
unsteadily
between the cracks in the old enamel--
hard and glossy.
the roses grow up from ivory necklaces,
fed by pearl-drop earrings;
they devour the jewelry box
and move across the dresser...
