michigan from undertones by floricide

my baby blue toes curling up in the sheets
summer slick air growing dense in the heat
we sit on the pavement tipsy and kissing as
the radio is playing a song about michigan

i'm not a girl that you forget
no longer just some stupid kid
my banged-up wrists and sundress thighs
i am the saint of late july

eating strawberry licorice with vodka
let's make a romance out of my trauma
chicken in the pool, hands on my hips
lipstick smear foamy beer chlorine apocalypse

i'm not a girl that you forget
no longer just some stupid kid
my banged-up wrists and sundress thighs
i am the saint of late july

jumping off the pier water up to my chest
cigarettes glow pink when the sun is halfway set
stick and poke tattoo it's true that i'm a fucking mess
she says, "you're too crazy pretty- or at least too crazy- to forget"
