Poems for the Signs

by Michaela Angemeer

golden retriever with no collar

but ask yourself, if it was your child, would you let them be around a person who has slip ups?

is this the line for lobotomies i’d love one i told you to stop thinking but you came up with more words instead

there's just something so romantic about being in love with someone who has no pressure to reciprocate your feelings wait, did i say romantic i meant pathetic

why can’t you be the version of you that goes deeper than the ocean the real you is a puddle come dream with me the you i made up is so much better i think you’d like them come dream with me breathe underwater i’ll give you gills and you’ll be everything i ever wanted you to be i’m afraid i’ll disappear if i close my eyes

i'm moving to an island swimming with the dolphins getting a starfish tattoo with a meaning i'll forget
