Cocktails

I have been chewing on your lip
Tasting bitter flakes of skin
And a salty sunrise in the east

I have been chewing on filters
Tasting arsenic and cancer
Lacing cotton between teeth

These words are grotesque plastic
Melting as a twisted conversation
Their shape is madness and rhythm
Their stems are thick and I sharpen my teeth

I have been chewing on your lip
And I taste dirty tavern floors
A cocktail of dust and blood.
