Parenthetical Girls
Of Collateral Damage (and Other Loose Ends)
Pinch your cheeks so flush with light leaves little dents so ill-definedA finger bound in knots of twineTo ground the things that slip your mindPale your wrist stays, blue on white to Match the shapes beneath your eyes youFake it through those trying times andAll that's left are laughter linesSpends much time or do me right where once it's no longer bright enough To catch your paper heart alight consumed in burning white I lost your Letters in that fire and though the memories of that touch that clingThe weight of your self-interest passed between two bodies brushLest this messed your makeshift dress with the faintest smell of this And just beneath the perfume on your neck is the faintest smell of death You take your faith and circular reminders that say someday you'll rest Elaborate fantasies of bloody knees and empty providence You owe your life to promises forgotten, makes the things you never kissed In retrospect it all seemed so so selfish, well fuck this, fuck this, fuck thisPale your wrists stay, blue on whiteAnd pinch your cheeks 'neath sunken eyes Leaves little dents so ill-defined A finger seen as blue designA finger bound in knots of twine to ground the things that slip your mind
