My x's are aligned
dots on my hips
primed for the sizing

Oh! Lemondrops on my bleeding gums
Oh! Saltsweatdrops on my hang nail's bed

take the camel from the needle-eye
and tattoo on my lashings,
take a trim from the hem lines
and drape my knees 'round back

My kisses are the galaxies
on the pin-tips,
strong as their flex their calves

Oh! Bottleshards under my barefeetwalking
Oh! The Jackson 5 echoes down the corridor
bouncing back to my bedroom,
twisted so they're
melancholy songs

the lyrics stain across the fabric
on my sleeve.
