Exotic Green

Crushed mirrors hammers melted nails 
spooky silent snails
Feathers in my teeth
The red in your lips 
The curl of your hips
Your tongue on fire 
Kites in your eyes 
Your heel in boots
Pointed toes walk
Dusting the chalk from the summer sky
Old knife points 
New dead Saints
Treated leather sharpened stones 
Corkscrews and bones 
Your old addresses
Tossed salad and your eyes 
all in a bomb
And a comb 
Next to you 
as we walk 
exploding our love 
for each other 
Dont want to make a scene 
When the bomb explodes 
it will be 
exotica green.
