Mistakes of the Flesh
Skin to skin, we melted in.
Skin to skin, we melted in.
Hold tighter to the rails, inhale.
Candles burn, pages turn, children learn.
Your name echoed through his mouth
We died in secret company, embracing.
Ghosts spooked by people in sheets
The television said: “We work together”
Pools of pity for heartbroken suckers.
Characters in head, monsters in bed
