Polish Girls

The words avoid my tongue
And wish to awake pictureless
To lean your fever up against mine
Trees are growing from our graves
Roots are tangled in our bones
Polish girls in ruins tease
The Chinese letters left undone
On a black walled invitation
Say goodnight before you go
Cut lips on frozen words
Cracked teeth on hollow syllables
Wolf's milk and painted pegs
Opium years of dreaming
Polish girls in silent tears
Ruined and undone
When the moon decides to show
Riding spider count your teeth
Something broke in you before
Your heart stopped ticking
Little one died
Cold and quiet ocean lines appear
And wither away
Time and distance
Black walled invitation
Colored lost
The brightness of the hour
The black walled invitation
Say goodnight
Baptize this over me
Before we turn black
