scrawled on a receipt at my shitty summer job
I am lusting after the red melon green lights
making amber on your skin
Sweat dripping like honey
Lights play off your skin
reverberating gasping
"stop" whispering "go"
Look up straight into the strobes
Blind to the cracked ceiling and paint chip poles
Holding up this fake constellation
Cheap glassmetalgrime stars, flashing weak colors into our eyes, stars
Close enough to touch
If I drink this in drink you up
I might believe the amber pink stars are real
A universe made of black bricks spilled drinks and us
Laugh loud with me stupid love
We'll yell into the sky
Dream of cars we'll never drive
Fall asleep in a cigarette burn blanket,
Cold breeze, smell of weed,
rooftop radiating end of summer heat
