Rainbow Current

The humiliation in my elbows is attaching itself to a rainbow current
Then it flushes my head

Your foot is trying to find dryland on my forehead

Lack in my hair
Drenched in the milk from your nails

I was screaming or I was told that I was
I was the void or I was told that I was
You'd put into an archetype or two in my rucksack
I crushed on the shore

Writing on a sticky note I remind myself of who I was yesterday

My drawers are still misplaced
But that's where I put my fishbowl
