Christa Lou Poems
Fly away from the sun and the pouring green meadows
Shed this binding birdsong and these daisy chains
Blink away the blue of the perfect sky—
We’re running away, you and I.
...
Your skin is freckled with neon-yellow highlighter
Ballpoint ink spiders across your cobweb eyes.
When you talk your lips are coated with yesteryear
(“The wise are never good, and the good never wise”)
...
When I could no longer understand the pastel language of nursery colours
or hear the whispers of the dandelions painted on my wall,
I scoffed at children who took their lives as lightly as jigsaw puzzles
playing their days away like nothing else mattered at all.
...
There’s a monster in my closet
And another under my bed
Both of them have jagged teeth
And they turn my blood to lead.
...
The Best Poem Of Christa Lou
You And I
Fly away from the sun and the pouring green meadows
Shed this binding birdsong and these daisy chains
Blink away the blue of the perfect sky—
We’re running away, you and I.
We’re going to a place where nothing is anything
And upside down is the other way round
Where eternity passes in the blink of an eye—
They’ll never find us, you and I.
Where the space between orange and purple
Glimmers a starry sunset mystery
And nothing we love will pass us by—
That’s where we’ll be, you and I.
And we’ll be swallows, you and I
Up where forgotten dreams dip and fly
Away from the caging summer sky—
Both of us, none of us, you and I.
