Suntan

Eyes leaned out the skull Stare glossed over me Name dissolving to Grit between the teeth Should have been a winning smile Face pulled back against the wind Should have been a blushing flower Brimming at the thought of you So let suffuse the rot I throw myself against the burning hill To let suffuse the rot Shoulders glisten candy in the sun "Starving out your share" Says the palm against your palm and "Starving out your share" Says the mouth against your mouth As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing on you I never miss a suntan Baby sunbather Held myself aloft Nothings passed for air Should have been aliveness High enough to forget Should have been easier to leave you there On exiting the dream Your breath upon the glass evaporates On exiting the dream You turn toward the lens delivering "Starving out your share" With your palm against my palm and "Starving out your share" With your mouth against my mouth As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing As the center is collapsing on me The kind you like I got that mandible Slack-jawed pelican Empty, I have nothing for you Eat yourself and worry not worry not For the lack of want Worry not worry not For the lack of hurting Worry not worry not It's not your fault it wasn't enough
