Every word a land mine buried under thick skin drowned in venom mauling at teeth a shoreline shudder Hardened men tiptoe around a sentence a rosebush infested crawling with depraved lions masked in solitude and then the pounce the way boiling a *** of water brings a blizzard the way a twig snaps underfoot in the dead of night the way a clenched jaw met a quiet tongue at a cafe called each other red dead underfed and one to another said where do we go?

Every word a land mine buried under thick skin drowned in venom mauling at teeth a shoreline shudder Hardened men tiptoe around a sentence a rosebush infested crawling with depraved lions masked in solitude and then the pounce the way boiling a *** of water brings a blizzard the way a twig snaps underfoot in the dead of night the way a clenched jaw met a quiet tongue at a cafe called each other red dead underfed and one to another said where do we go?
