You Couldn'T Grow Irises Out of Your Heart
You couldn't grow irises out of your heart -
But you could get out rhinestones,
Dazzling like diamonds -
And you bought others this way;
The others who could
Live in the dark and cold,
Painting their rusty hearts in gold -
And everyone seemed satisfied
To be a tiny parasite
In this world.
