ringing in my ears

Sometimes I want to kiss your mouth
just to stop your voice
from r i n g i n g in my ears

If I slide my tongue between your teeth
I might end the e c h o of my want

It binds me
Swollen and with haste

Quick

To promises I don’t even speak the language of

And while I beckon it a lie
Just the s m o o t h of your h e l l o
Promises to teach

And I am at your feet
Readily the pupil to what you know

I hunger to learn the soft of your hands
And the shape of your fingers keeps me wet with hope

And as your palm gently parts anothers thighs
Ill rise into that arch
until I feel your breath to the left of my navel
And you fall onto the soft of my belly
Sharing a cigarette for the thanks of our unclean

Bent light betrays in the c r e e p i n g of the S U N

But I will kiss your mouth
Just to stop your voice from r i n g i n g in my ears.
