flattery?
i wish
i wasn’t flattered
by the paper crown
woven through your eggshell hair
i wish
i wasn’t flattered
by the amber saliva
dripping from your peppered tongue
i wish
i wasn’t flattered
by the flowering impulsiveness
writhing against your dried eardrums
i wish
i wasn’t flattered
by the seasoned goblet
gripped between your slender fingers
i wish
i wasn’t flattered
by the sightless venom
slithering towards my bare ankles
because we all know flattery is for the weak.
