Be careful of holes in your clothes
You could fall into
someone’s forgotten habits
The prologue of her selfie
turns background to her commentary
She gave the shirt
off her back full of holes
the printmaker designed
Don’t kiss in the bar after blue drinks
Hell is your hangover
flashback
She said she would always be single
on Instagram
The gap in her front teeth
means she’s a dom
And even if you’re occasional bottom
don’t expect her to text back
just cuz you fell in love
Don’t hold on to any clothes with stains
after she brought pomegranates over
from her garden
that leaked on your
I texted
And you texted
We aren’t on the same page
Never got better than that
I don’t like pomegranates anymore
