this is why we don't...

she made love
a best of
list

spilling not quite
secrets splitting
glittering seconds
for display

she been
singing those
catchy hooks
in me

coatin' that
hunger
with a
sugar tongue

but I've been
fixin'
to be broke
for a long
time
spent saving
unspoken sayings
structured letters
to grope
to choke
an open throat

something like a
closed
mindfieldday

replace the pressure
with a spray
of expelled  
syllables

EXPLODE!

scattering
a hope
that won't
stay (buried)
