There is a list on one hand that reads: Breathe, wake up, left then right (repeat). When I look at other people, the only thing I realize Is that my hands are empty. I am seven empty bottles and the feeling That I haven’t been sober in twenty-four hours. With the patterns on the rug all of the time, With blues and yellows and brighter colors, No matter what I’d choose nothing but your smile; Warmth inside and teeth like shiny glass Where there’s room enough for me.

Seven Empty Bottles
There is a list on one hand that reads: Breathe, wake up, left then right (repeat). When I look at other people, the only thing I realize Is that my hands are empty. I am seven empty bottles and the feeling That I haven’t been sober in twenty-four hours. With the patterns on the rug all of the time, With blues and yellows and brighter colors, No matter what I’d choose nothing but your smile; Warmth inside and teeth like shiny glass Where there’s room enough for me.
