ASK for the vibration of self love
filtered through rose quartz
ASK for the creme de la creme
an ambient bask
of crystal signals
ASK for pulses of reaffirmation
my spiritual mask
realigning accidental skin
ASK again ASK
for the egg crystals
balance my menstrual harmony
ASK for one polished garnet
infused with terracotta orange
ASK for a ribbon on the box
crumple with brown sage
we pray to cleanse them
ASK Vanity Fair ASK for the straws
to suck through amethyst
ASK Free People and Goop
ASK me what drew me
to this carnelian
ASK women free to go
out without permission
ASK Anjoura in Madagascar
her husband ASK him
Choking red dust
in death tunnels
ASK mine moles blind for a dollar
too tired to feed the day
ASK the child to polish
with their own intentions
Speck in my eye
ASK for a tissue
