poem: no, stars aren't made out of sugar

ZOE @ FLORENCE & THE MACHINE





Pure, stupid, white- a baby
Lady, where is your ID?
At the bottom of my bag
At the bottom of a lake.

I feel sacred thinking about you
Holy, almost ghostly.
Let us be, jagged and running on three legs.
I love all your violent silence
Looking at the window
Nape of your neck
winks at me.

I’ve been a lively fool
Dancing and watching 2020
roll like a passage
like ticker tape over my head.
