Sensing ribcage,
I push another
wrist into her
plastic side.
Pulling suitcase
out
to dress her.
Face to teeth,
we both collide.
I'm sure your Mother
knew well enough
to have spoken to you
about filthy pride.
But off to Texas
in trunk of Spyder
we buried her
for such lies.
Such shallow waters
still seem to drown me
in the rivers
of your mind.
Yet until morning,
I am hypnotized while
summer winds
slams screen door five
times.

this was AMAZING! and i loved the end rhyme because it wasnt too much with the verses and all in between ... Sensing ribcage,
I push another
wrist into her
plastic side.
Pulling suitcase
out
to dress her.
Face to teeth,
we both collide. ... the beginning had me dripping with emotion ... thanks ...
