Ex-addiCt


Right there. Close but not that far closed.
Just there.
Can skin and tin hands.

Right there. hold. hold tight.
Is a short ride
A ride with no horses
Just human lungs
Just human blood
Just human liver
Ah_________! the liver.

Right there. Close but not that far closed.
Just there.
Olive tongue and rosemary nails.

Right there. hold. hold tight.
Is a sour joke
A joke with no laughter
Just rewind steps
Just rewind stories
Just rewind moments
Just rewind periods
Ah______________! the periods.

Right there. Close but not that far closed.
Just there.
Smoky mouth and cocaine saliva.

Right there. hold. hold tight.
Is a night with no bed
A bed with no warmth
Just a rainy season
Just a rainy tear
Just a rainy body
Just a rainy thought
Ah___________! the thoughts.

Right there. Close but not that far closed.
Just there.
