Paint your pretty lips,
My lovely,
You will never be
With all the paints in all the world
As beautiful as me.

She wears deception
Lipstick leaves dress as flowers
Her too small bloomlets
Yellow insignificance
Our eyes believe pretty lies

Leave your grand and glorious
Your ostentatious world roof,
Trembling and upthrusting.
I am immovable.
I do not quake.

Nabi here: mom asks why I am in the sink. Because it's nice to curl up in for a bath. Where else am I supposed to wash? But NO WATER, PLEASE.

Over a harvested field of grain, this farmer sowed butternut squash. It grew prolifically.
He never collected his crop and eventually plowed over it. I don't know why.

Response to Sonnet 116
Supposed steady beacon
Emblem of constancy
Unwaivering guide -
But as the earth staggers,
Axis altering,
There will be new Polarises;
And, they too, will be
For a time
A fixed mark.

Shrapnel shredded throat
With dust-filled lungs-
Remains of fallen cities -
The banshee sits, now mute.
Green mounds and tumbled dolmen tombs
Now her haunt,
As she solaces the ancient dead.

Kaws on the fight,
Knowing she cheers both sides
Waiting to peck out the sightless eyes

"It's a silly thing, but in the hands of people who know how to instill a serious, beating heart inside of a silly thing, so that it’s not just a lark for us to forget as soon as we walk out of the theater, but a whole emotional center that can stick with us and keep making us smile."

Unspent rosebuds,
Wasted small change of the fall,
Bladed soon by secateurs -
