Salt and Sweet

I have such a long way to go

To prove that I can move

I just really want some fucking pie

Just a bit of the sweetness

Just to wash the mud out of my mouth

I’ll drink saltwater just to fill my belly

I know it will make the journey less likely

I’ve just been so hungry

It will be years before they let me move

My insides are dry and cracked

I’m not going to make it

I’m just dreaming of strawberries and cream
