DM BF from Progress Bakery by Eliza Niemi

Like Kiki learning to fly again
Put on my Tampax-pearl-blue shirt (iridescent)
Rolled a good day gamblin
Strong cup of coffee and open all the curtains

Trees at the end of the open field blowin
I thank something for the sun in the opening
Rockin back n forth like in slow motion
Thinkin bout how Dogman’s my (redacted) boyfriend

Beautiful eyes and smells like garbage
I smell the beauty in the garbage (amen)
I think it smells kinda sweet like a garden
Like rotten roses — god, I love him

Do you get lonely?
Did it get lonely?

The atmosphere up here is a dry wet
The air’s real clear but I can’t catch my breath
I see my love at the trees’ end (do I need an eye test?)
I wonder if my boyfriend thinks about my death

Do you get lonely?
When you close your eyes to see
Did it get lonely?
When you double-baptized me
Do you get lonely?
Even though you made me
Did you feel lonely?
When you tried to save me
