her

out of the cracks of her chapped lips

poured out the slow stream of scalding coffee

and all her thoughts that she could not

put on paper.

 

and I longed to kiss her,

to taste her favourite colour

to feel her thoughts touch my lip

(all the things she would not -could not- tell me)

to let her know that she is not leaking -

she is just overflowing.
