Is It Time?
Depression sets in
it is nearer time to go than to stay
amid the stars and
sliced segments of orange moon
lips full of envy
and i have teeth to caress
this blood orange
bittersweet
listless limbs drape
over the sounds of a ticking clock
amid the stars and
sliced segments of orange moon
lips full of envy
and i have teeth to caress
this blood orange
bittersweet
listless limbs drape
over the sounds of a ticking clock
that melts down too slowly for time
it sets in for days
it sets in for days
memories of
my hands absently strokes my breast
my hands absently strokes my breast
is that you i hear?
no? then melt down the clock faster
no? then melt down the clock faster
it is not time yet.
