Calendula Petals

Why would you touch me like that if you loved me?

Do calendula petals work in a dark bedroom?


I want sirens in your neighborhood every night you try to have meaningful sex.

I want everyone and no one to read this email.

I want four, five cigarettes in a row

And for you to shut the fuck up when I talk.


I am going to chain smoke you out of existence,

woman.

I am going to get aggressive just like you did,

you

woman.

I am going to tell people so I can finally have some peace,

you

fucking

woman.

I am going to bitch and bitch and bitch about it until you’re out of my system,

you

mean

fucking

woman.


Then, I plan to stop smoking tobacco,

Eat a fuck ton of fruits and veggies,

And sleep with someone real pretty, too,

And I’ll make sure you never hear about it,

You mean fucking woman.
