Fingers fumble at buttons
liquorice in our breath
misty fug of your name
still lingers on the window
it watches
toes like bent paperclips
fidget impatiently
glass half-full of lemon and lime
little bubbles little fizzes
mute television
goldfish mouths with no sound
this evening
'vamp' your chosen shade
exposed navel heartbeats
blood thump in ear
a sock falls off
the other overboard already
twenty fingers
it's alright
I say it's fine it's alright

Written: February 2015.
Explanation: A poem written in my own time, which was actually typed up in an email to a friend first, and then posted on here. No edits from that email version.
NOTE: It is possible that over the next few months, several of my older poems will be removed from HP, as I am not quite liking the website in the same way I used to, plus those old pieces are not very good.
