CALL ME LATER?

2023 HOLLY LIANG

I DREAMT OF YOU LAST NIGHT

WE SAT IN A FIELD ON A FLEECE BLANKET EVERYTHING WAS SOFT AND YOU WERE MY SEATBELT

I AM CRYING ALL MY TEARS ONTO MA’S PILLOW. SHE IS RUBBING MY BACK

SUDDENLY I AM SEVEN YEARS OLD AND I SPILLED A WHOLE CUP OF GRAPE JUICE ONTO THE FLOOR SOMEONE’S MOMMY, SOMEONE’S DADDY PICKED EVERY GRAPE IN THAT JUICE

BUT THE WORLD DOES NOT STOP TO DRY YOUR TEARS, MA SAID MA CLEANED THE JUICE TILL THE FLOOR WASN’T STICKY AND I WATCHED BA CALLS ME SMART GIRL AND I PROMISED I WOULD GO TO BED EARLY

I LOVE TO TAKE MYSELF OUT DANCING MY HEAD IS FULL OF THE UNIVERSE

DANCING AND I AM MY FAVORITE FLOWER

AND SHE KEEPS ME COMPANY

THESE DAYS, I KEEP THINKING ABOUT STRAWBERRIES AND BLOWING KISSES THROUGH DANDELIONS

THE KIND OF LOVE THAT DANCES WHEN THE SUNSET IS PINK

I KEEP THINKING ABOUT PEELING THE STARS OFF MY BODY

BUT THEY ALWAYS SAY THAT CURIOSITY KILLED THE CAT

SO I KEEP MY STARS SHUT AND DREAM OF SOFT FLEECE BLANKETS FOREVER
