Why am I the happiest with
your hands around my neck
You have sharp teeth
and you leave indentions in my skin
I want to let you know that its okay
to want to crawl out of your skin
You awake with cracked bones
I chipped my jaw on your frozen over shoulder
I saw you digging in the backyard
Another hole to hide your growing secrets
I wonder when you will stop watering words
And start digging them up by the roots
