Mad World by Alex Parks

gangrene

half-painted
red heart

my feet
mock my summer days and

september's
      almost gone.

summer has its wispies here:
long blonde strands
stretched out

like spider webs,
reaching for sunshine.

lens flare and
whitening strips aside,
i think we had

a pretty good season.
don't you?
we haven't been running

in a while,

but that's okay because

like bikinis the
translucent swaths

of summer
always seem too small.

don't you worry.

my hair
will be blonde again

before you know it.
