“That stale air you think of
is heaviness surrounding the numb teeth.”
It’s dark, It’s the night.
we slumber with mouths open trying to please.
trying to pick lotus with our heavy lips.
I stare into this earth which holds me like a baby,
and then the flashback of pills and heartaches.
that moment of a swiveled cloud of tears.
It’s done now,
Circling around life needs a solid heart,
a solid tongue to lick,
lick, the translucent powder of fever.
Hands down! One of your best🌷

Umm, D, I’m not sure I know what to read into this. Would you rather tell us (the reader), or leave it to us to figure out our own meaning?

The first stanza enchanted me. The rest made it rise even higher.
“we slumber with mouths open trying to please.”
“and then the flashback of pills and heartaches.”
Where’s the lie? ❤
