It can't be this simple
to stretch tired muscles of your face to breaking and broken
teeth baring, an animal or something less primitive
show of affection happiness false friendship kindness.
Your eyes crinkle like packs of frozen ice
cold cold and chipping. It'll melt like it always and in all ways.
Melt, shift, change, fall and drip freezing tears those classic
crimping cheeks. Smiles smiles.
A crippling sense of time. It falls like a slow moving train
You can see it, and oh, you can feel it.
If your put your ear close to the tracks you can hear it
from miles and miles away. They each seem like one year.
One year, two year, three years and for forever.
Smiles, so simple. Can you feel it now?
