What if we woke up
without lips
with the whole mouth full of earth
behind the tongue no words
What if I woke up
to be dangerous
with the whole mouth full of blood
I bit my tongue when you lied
Everything I wanted to say
I forgot tonight
Everything I wanted to be I kept
always to myself
What if we woke up, not breathing
Our lungs emptied of air
exactly like if we had taken a shove
It feels as if someone
cut off our feet
and the whole of the bed full of blood
and the whole floor full of shoes
Everything I wanted to say
I forgot tonight
Everything I wanted to be I kept
always to myself
