untitled.
Algae Bloom
Wait or wade in, I'm a house fire pouring myself out of my mouth
In a whisper or in bed , screaming 'this is how it's done'
To the margins, take cover, melt mute on the tip of my tongue
Bite yours like I'm fighting for you, I can speak your truth
I know it so well
Like I'm oh-so loud, I'm burning everything down
Like I'm oh-so loud, I'm burning everything down
Tell me how it is and I'll spill my big puddle of words all over your silence
Cry silver into magpie ears
I'll rust and smother here
I see my dirty lungs hung out to dry
Breathing false, dripping these words beside me
Lay this voice limp on the balcony
Reeling off everything stuck in these teeth
