Paper Mache Heart

Dramatic denim blues
Shredded like teal tears
Nothing to lose but blood
Too broken to face fears

Experiences emerald emerge
Like a ghost from within
Refurbishing old cemetery poems
Papers fly like drones

What am I to you
An old art or a new heart
Full of prophecy and propaganda 
Created in His Image

I think teal heals
But nope that’s user error
My brain explains in terror
Only the blood can do that
