potty mouth

you spill out your secrets

in fine print

and lucid dreams.

where were you

when my gaze met your demise?

your disguise is a nightmare

that still chews me up alive.

bare teeth

and swallowed sighs

hollow and empty

like the pot of gold

within your eyes

the hopelessness i face

trying to read your mind

trying to understand

why? why

i still cry.
