Biting Tongues One Tooth At A Time

After I fell into a blackout
my tongue bled.

I woke up disoriented
sworn I'd seen wraiths
scattering into the unseen

I groped for the message
in the hindsight

It trickles slowly
like a leaky tap.

Hustling Words

I met you when the world had turned sour

We exchanged alien goodbyes
in the government domain where we worked

I found you again
between fiends and slaves.

We talked beyond the party
beyond the cusp of sleep

I invited you to the river
you preferred to wait for rain

We kissed when the world was blind
before we started hustling words.
