Coffee Cup Collateral

Moon thumbtacked as matter of fact

And waxing from the the right

Under stars hung low we were caught counting crows

And blushing at the sight

Of the blue grey seam on a gemini dream

That I treasure to this day

With midnight draped Like a black velvet cape

On the hunch of Folly Bay

 

Sundress slipping to her feet

Sunbaked back and redskin heat

Sunburnt Cheeks in silver sheets

Sunspots burning memories of

 

Coffee cup Collateral and a curtsy in the sand

Of an ebbing shore, We were Connecting four, my Heartstrings in her hand

fading quotes on ransom notes and now I owe it all

To Trinket-taking and curfew breaking And Coffee cup Collateral 

now I owe it all to Coffee cup Collateral

 

Two legs twirl and ten toes curl

On cracked shells under feet

A calculated bet On saltwater & sweat

And springtime’s rising heat

Thereby sealing a chance for one more dance

Under phosphorescent sky

Six new steps In riptide jets

And a Harbor Lullaby

 

Sundress slipping to her feet

Sunbaked back and redskin heat

Sunburnt Cheeks in silver sheets

Sunspots burning memories of

 

Coffee cup Collateral and a curtsy in the sand

Of an ebbing shore, We were Connecting four, my Heartstrings in her hand

fading quotes on ransom notes and now I owe it all

To Trinket-taking and curfew breaking And Coffee cup Collateral 

now I owe it all to Coffee cup Collateral

now I owe it all to Coffee cup Collateral

now I owe it all


 

Teeth devour an earring flower

Just to steal a taste

Forget me nots next to coffee pots

And ransom notes erased
