MÉRET OPPENHEIM

FLUSHED


can i tell you something?

there's days where i wished i'd never known you, but others where i want to be consumed by every vein that designs your body

i have to keep me to myself, because i feel like it's too sacred to spill myself over in just words
my thoughts stick close to my tongue, but never pours
but
then
i think about a world after me
the impressions i've left on the dirt as i walked
the salt of tears absorbed into pores of skin
who cares anyway? my brain loves this repetitive punishment
but i keep probing in my dreams


-          -         -          -          -          -


reoccurring thoughts:

MOIST MORNING (i walked alone that day)
SULKED SOFT CHEEK (out of anxiety, i'd bite my cheeks until they bled)
HOW BLOOD VESSELS DILATE UNDER STRESS & EMBARRASSMENT UNDER THE SKIN

SILKED WHITE NIGHT


appled nose 
tipped pink
milked eyes glimmer
in the light that passes through the room

MY BODY COLLAPSES WHEN I THINK OF YOU 


i want the intensity of embarrassment 

i want the immensity of desire

the red neon light stains my skin as i walk past the EXIT sign

i want to abide by you, always (but i will never admit)

there is danger in this skin 

there is allure in your mouth
there are words i imagined but you've never said
there is death in your gait

he moved boundless like the night


LOVE is much bigger than my mind
