the gossip 
will die 
when it hits my ears.
i will gently, 
yet firmly
clamp down 
and suffocate it.
let us sing of their names
instead
let us speak in 
flowers of hibiscus
sweet on 
the lips
like honey
and let us starve 
the 
artificial 
synthetic 
false fast food
filled with 
preservatives.

-i want you to feel safe to leave your 
name with me.
