Never Forget the Trash

Tiptoeing through word pockets Seems childishly delightful. I litter kisses on your cheek and hop into giddiness. Nuzzling warmth into skin, Smiling and saying nothing, Patiently diluting the imminent explosion. But the heart is not the head And I want to tell you everything. There is too much for Simple sugary glee And I am desperate to share each sun burnt phrase, Over and over again So that we can peel away Non functioning syllables Useless falsities and shy giggles of sweetness. Let us dig and dig and dig until A painfully scribbled page appears With nonsensical verses that Stab and scar and swell And we un-crumple everything Remove forgetfulness from the trash And make it beautiful.
