Yellow by Chris Martin

aperture

yes, these are (paper flowers)
latin

america (twisted)
into plastic fronds

(lying) still
above my heart,
giving up

before
they

start to melt,
puddles of petals

laid down
(dogs barking)
life giving

into you,
holding on.

i fill these vases
with

memories (hollow thin)
false(hoods)

and

hold them up
for

you to see, (for you to photograph)
for you to

idolize (and break),
forever...

i          

hold them up for you.
