larkspurs rubies and appletrees
she eats chocolate raspberry ganache tarts at nine
in the morning and watches the peach sunlight shower over
victorian houses in their regal pastels she drinks
cheery chirping rosés that leave shimmers at her mouth's corners and
in this way she wakes herself for another day at school.

i like to count your ribs when you're not looking.
the hollow dips, the gentle pressure they put on your skin.
you're underweight by a few ticks of the scale,
but,
so am i.
ii.
we both hate taking our medicine.
so my hands shake and your lungs ache,
but we just laugh it off because we're young and we have forever.

iii.
you like different books.

in between,
you kiss me like light pouring through the window
the skid of a car.
you windshield-wipe away the tears
turn on the radio with windy hands
throw me back, tumbling red
but i still see
the apple trees in the backyard,
shivering before november
no, you are not behind me,
anymore

I teach medical terminology, and will now be considering "heart sobbing" as an acceptable definition of arrythmia.
