Vent

Your voice is warm

and higher than mine

you sing without coal-covered notes

with a voice that never rises in pitch

your laughter is handed out like free pencils

(nobody refuses a free pencil, but within an hour they litter the floor)

 

Possessing black-rimmed eyes

and a milky face

you have caught in your cream-coated hands

the boy that once put his arm on the back of my chair

 

His eyes drift to you

and I find it fascinating

how I do not completely dwell

on the possibility of ripping your yellow-white hair

from your albino scalp
