Coffee Cup Collateral

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 your hand
Fading quotes on ransom notes and now I owe it all
To trinket-taking and curfew breaking and to 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 and sweat
And springtime's rising heat
Thereby sealing a chance for one more dance
Under a 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 your hand
Fading quotes on old ransom notes and now I owe it all
To trinket-taking and to curfew breaking and 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 little taste
Forget-me-nots next to rusty coffee pots
And old ransom notes erased
