AM - Marika Hackman

In the cold morning light

Arms like a child

Letting the carpet kiss your feet

Hard heavy mouth with lips that fall apart

It’s a soft pink work of art

And every mistake reads on your face

I’ll leave you to your dreams

Oh, you stay blind with the kiss on your eyes

Flickering white between red lines

Turn to the wall, still through it all

I wonder where you go

8:10 AM

You sleep so alone

Don’t feel bad

I know you’d rather be unconscious lying there

Inside your mind

Hard heavy mouth is crushed against my hand

It’s a soft pink place to land

Every mistake yet to be made

I wonder where we go

8:10 AM

You sleep so alone

8:10 AM

You sleep so alone

Where did you go?
