The words avoid my tongue
A wish to awake picture less
To lean your fever up against mine


Trees are growing from our grave
Roots are tangled in our bones


Polish girls in ruins tease
Like Chinese letters left undone

On a black wall invitation
Say goodnight before you go


Cut lips on frozen words
Cracked teeth on hard syllables
Wolf's milk and painted eggs

An opium eater's dream

Polish girls in silent tease

Ruined and undone

When the moon decides to show

A writing spiders counts your teeth

Something broke in you

Before your heart stopped ticking
You go undone


Cold and quiet, ocean lungs peel away
Time and distance, a black wall invitation
Calm and lost the ripeness of the hour


A black wall invitation say goodnight
Baptize this off of me before we turn bad
