sleeping inside of her mouth.
fragments of broken down sentences.
used much too many times.
what is it worth.

and do you sleep.
and if so, with who.

the moon pulls her closer, says "
lean this way. this way. if you don't
know how then learn"

time stands by.
a sidekick when identities are being
dealt and there is murder inside.
there is murder
and she says "fool"
but noone stumbles.

words do not create earthquakes enough
to sustain the breaking down of all her
girl-parts.

and Don't stop
and Right there
have become the only prayer to live by.
