Hurt

Hurts like potions. 
Made into a grid or spreadsheet. 
Turn on the stove light. 
Like empty shells. 

Tempting like hanging out and being bored. 
Melting bones, trembling, thumbtack stuck. 
And measuring my thoughts a bit. 
So I was bored in a circle. 

The measuring cups.
Just like he used to. 
Run into the street. 
As if there was an iridescence there. 

I made my life into a grid. 
Just like spiciness doesn’t stop. 
Rushed, rushed, rushed. 
Gasping as if there’s such thing. 

If a potion could make me fall?
Maybe I would pass out for no reason. 
So my life is a measuring cup!
Again. 

I don’t know what fills me. 
The feeling of a speck of dirt passing by made me blush. 

He talks to me.
