wandering from room to room
wait, i think i left something there...
set the porcelain turquoise
down and forget
how to fill it
i think i left something there
set the phone down and pretend
not to look at it
wait, i think i left something there...
i think i left something there
the city, a skyline
scraped into my skin
i ran
crying
in the opposite direction
recoiling from the violent
cylinder
a thin
pair of stockings
lie
on the floor
like my silhouette
still listens
to your voice
a comb
of fingers
through my memory
lift me to the counter
kiss me
i am all knees
i am all fear
and you
never lose your patience
with me
i am all knees
i am all fear
lift to the counter
forgive me
wandering from room to room
wait, i think left something there
set the porcelain turquoise down
and forget
how to fill it
i think i left something there
wait, i think i left
