his hair.
My blood.
I ache inside this echo of a lullaby
with blind ears and a mouth full of lemons
and salt.
eyes cut and cannot wince,
My heart is too much for him.
I will leave once more.
and he will drink all over again.
no hope inside tonight
goodnight
Love.
I knew it would end like this.
in a black gown and hair full of white
tears, my ears ringing out of tune in
This dark piano.
cold night, warm hand, under the slip, between
the thighs.
tonight, I need a break from my virginity.
