I've secreted
too many smiles
that lie
like dust itself.
There is no taking back
the results of a collision
felt to closely,
kept too tightly
within my chest.
It's hard
to breathe around your body,
because I seem to shed
a layer or two.
But I'm forgetting
all the boundaries
that were established
in raspy whispers
from the driest mouths.
I'm sure
you've noticed.

"Up Against the Wall"
Up against the wall, up against the wall,
you've got me up against your wall
