Underage from -CENTRISM by Strange Relations

you were an imposter
an apostle
sent to me

you were a bizarre dream
something fevered
sweeping in and out of me

i know they’ve been talking
our friends and neighbors
penny gossip

we are sinners
do you mind it
i don’t mind it

have a need, gotta feed it
nice and even
bridle in hand

pressure’s creeping under
growing in ya
stealing in

you were a disaster
blemished body
not how it ought to be

so guarded and stilted
purple iris
bloom for me, bloom for me

actuarial
am i still worth it
all those other ones
leave out all the risk

every jar i’ve saved
could be your new home
i’ll bind my own wrists
you bring the bible
