daffodils bleed

by Nicole M. - Gemini

the daffodils
 will insist
  to kiss my wrists
Following
   selfish breaths
 petals will bleed
rancid sunshine
      because they can
  and
wilting steel
   will carry the
 stench of
       wasted cherries
  for no reason
 simple prophecies
           indicating
words will stop telling
  stories
    prisoners
 trembling inside
cosmetic metaphors.
