A couple months ago, I was lying in bed wishing I was sleeping, when my brain decided to write a poem.

as yellow roses bloom in his lungs.
He sits back in the boughs of a birch tree

Forgotten and left behind

As his veins fill up with chlorophyll
his thoughts turn verdant, not vermilion.
He coughs up petals because he’s lovesick for himself.
