Your name
like my teeth grew feet and danced across my lips
swirled and spun like your cigarette smoke
grasps my throat and cuts me up
and sews me back so gently
never has it caressed my mind
only stormed through it
but it floats through my breath
and chatters on my teeth
and growls and moans and
melts away into the air
and my sleepy eyes will search for yours
behind smoke and stupid words
my favourite of these being
your name
like my teeth grew feet and danced across my lips
swirled and spun like your cigarette smoke
grasps my throat and cuts me up
and sews me back so gently
never has it caressed my mind
only stormed through it
but it floats through my breath
and chatters on my teeth
and growls and moans and
melts away into the air
and my sleepy eyes will search for yours
behind smoke and stupid words
my favourite of these being
your name
