i got passionfruit
road-raging my throat
i want to spit it out
a drake-inspired pop song
or a gluten free vegan cake
by Rashmi's Bakery
but instead it goes down
my bile & belly, ignites
all my anxieties, stirs up
seasonal blues as crystal moon
rises from the seawater
& muse, earth-bound
splutters ink, burns the air
with bright bluish green flames-
zinc
of all my silvery dreams
