They tumble off the page,
... letter...
We're the speckles in concrete, some necks
more immune against the two-faced sun...
Neat girl sits with crossed legs,
a napkin across her lap, hiding her...
... a crack of light
... a moment of fracture...
I walk around the house reciting poetry,
fully dressed against the weather's tantrums...
I wish my fingers
less bony, less glued to piano keys...
During Summer, I leave my fingerprints everywhere,
smudging the horizon on my bedroom window...
I remember something about paper
caressing my cheek; life's formula...
Click
... clack...
Don't expect to open up my chest
with your bare hands, it takes more...
I am just a dot in your universe,
not dead enough to be a star...
Upon crowning my tongue with cayenne-thick lust,
I found myself waning, an organ of rust...
