you never woke up today because

you never went to sleep

on rooftops knots and fire escapes are

where your eyelids nestle in

to keep

icicle lights and frosted glass

the tonic bottle

bone dry from class

and your eyes

shut wide on endless tile

and cold against your cheek

keeping you awake

you crush and kiss

the booming bass

lollipop lights

then eyes dart and friends melt

into shadows on the floor

you're alive and dancing

pretty, pretty girl

pretty zombie
