One night in the middle of summer,
I was given my favorite dream.
And in it, I was her;
the girl you'd think about when you sing.
I woke up, glazed in melancholy-
in sparkle juice sheen.
And I touched your bracelet to my lip,
the one I stole right before we kissed,
and when our mouths swished
dreamy washing machine.
Cleaned our inner depths of psyche,
anointed with love poison-
unable keep the thoughts of longing, dry,
strong desires are the knife
that cuts the girl from your cloth
the one you think about when you sing,
the one I think you like.
So shredded and clean I bound my lips to you,
I didn't stop until dreams came to life.

She left her love
Between the sheets
Of paper hearts
Beneath her sleeves

Caught In the fold
Just between the lines
Where seams are more than seems
And dreams are hung to dry

Where a stitch in time
Can cost you nine
And leave you with nothing
But a washed up rhyme

She left her love
Between the sheets
Of paper hearts
Beneath her sleeves
Laundry day

— The End —
