Blanket forts and battle ships I have brought the waves and riptides And the bow and the port and the starboard starburst, crash and writhe and fall apart again, onto knees and floors and aching joints. Through billowing pillowcases and Fingers drawing light lines in linen Ballet shoes and blood stained fibers. Bodies outlined in chalk colored covers and crime scenes. Touch the tips of Suns, Sins, Sons, Songs, Sound. Touch the tip The tip The lips, the teeth, the tip of the tongue, the tip of the tongue, the teeth, the lips. Tongue twisters like tornados in the Alley on the coast. "Run away with me" she bled. Said. Blanket forts and battle ships I have brought the waves and the riptides And the bow and the port and the starboard.

Blanket forts and battle ships I have brought the waves and riptides And the bow and the port and the starboard starburst, crash and writhe and fall apart again, onto knees and floors and aching joints.

Tongue twisters like tornados in the Alley on the coast. "Run away with me" she bled. Said. Blanket forts and battle ships I have brought the waves and the riptides And the bow and the port and the starboard.
