Dirty thoughts strapped tight in my chest, heave
forward in a bellowing cough.
Swoop out of me like some black bird.
A kiss of clouds, swipe the sky with sharp light and belch out
the noise of deep drums, spilling from my lips
as I love you.
Try to brush the words off of your skin, and rub the scent
from the bed sheets.
Sweep them up like bread crumbs, swallow them back in a sticky
gulp. I choke and they re-appear in full form.
A thick, oil faced monster, in the shape of my ex-boyfriend.
I wish I had never said that.
