1 Year, That's All We Got

One Year:
An Anniversary Poem

1 Year since your fears got fixed
And your shell was finally harmonized with

1 Year since they paid you in silver things
Diamond-colored frostbite change

1 Year for a thousand men
To crumble from the weight of your playful ways again

And 1 More for your blue knees
And what they mean to me

And 1 More for each
Batch of peaches you'd have to squeeze out, to bleed

1 Day after that for mind-chime,
To change your clocks to Our Time

1 More for, I could've sworn,
The Day you dropped and I stopped being bored by them fits: Good Lord

1 More Night for It,
Doing time inside yer spit: Lovershit

1 More arm
to keep thee within my swarm

1 More for
The Madness Of Love
