Milk Teeth



It’s familiar

Yet completely brand new

Crossed and entangled in separate corners

A world apart

Yet stuck like glue


I thought I'd been here before

Though this time is different

If it was up to me I would know the way out this war

Stubbornly accepting that the forces at play

Who have never led me too far astray

Always love to keep me guessing


Yet still I feel the weight

and burden of emotion

The ground pulls me in closer

Gravity works harder

Testing my devotion

As if the earth would swallow me whole

and more than willing

I fall into her

Sinking further into the fresh breath of serenity's ocean

Not knowing where I end or begin

Coming undone whilst simultaneously closing in

on myself like tissue paper, so thin

Enveloped in a mortal dose of oxytocin


Once shut now open just before me

Is a door I closed

Guilt free

The root-ridden cracks pull away from each other even further

Leaving me exposed

Disregarding my plea

The one where I beg and say no to fate

Whilst she solemnly shakes her head

And points to what has always been in my hand

Life’s own skeleton key


Deju Vus suddenly becoming as lucid as checking the time

Wondering all day

Every day

When I'll get to call you mine


And so I scream at the walls and I talk to water

White feathers grant me the peace and echoes of tranquility

I don't always know I need

The crows sing and watch quietly

While I’ll lick my lips and wait for that kiss

Wondering why my tears taste so salty


But the wind that shakes the trees

What whispers in the breeze

The wind that brings me to my knees

The wind that negotiates a soft peace

That's where my breath is

That’s where I'll be
