This Isn't Supposed to Be Poetic
You sound like a seashell.
You fall too fast and too hard.
I want to catch you,
but I'm full of secrets.
Closing your eyes and nodding your head.
You are a delicacy tooΒ Β sweet for me.
I will lick your fingers
and roll into a cave.
I am a mouse, but the bad kind.
Squeaking and stealing and running.
Your bones are light and
I will play fiddlesticks on them.
