[Scribbles] poems in progress, 07.09

Pitfallen, glass lungs of panic

Skull deep in your quicksand eyes

Grasping for the roots of your lashes

A fist full of eyeliner

A foot hold in your tear duct

Bat and blink, a treacherous wink

The jewel of your ruins

The cursed treasure

….

Pitfallen, a living stone

Skull deep in her quicksand eyes

Grasping for errors, glass lungs shatter

A fist full of lashes, blinking

Choosing between the jewel

In her tear duct, out of reach

Or pulling myself out of the breach

Of perfect flesh and bone

A delicate mesh of muscle tone

Memories refresh yet unknown

A tender cautiousness in her moan

Begs a witness to be shown

What flesh cannot convey alone
