Cracks, Cuts and Curls
Capsulate, wrenching wore around the nook
Never asked to swing her lips and hardness hook
A scary flood of fumes, fire her tears
And the invoice innocence of her beats
Enormously resonant as the dark dirt

Teething, raw and primal
To be mindless, to focus on what's inside.

Somewhere in the woods
A rustic cozy cabin
To fill with boho goods

All I care is that I'm there
With you behind closed doors

Hold me when your name I call
Let me love and care...
