Back of My Head

You said nothing
But the look on your face said it all
Facedown in your pupils
The answer key I've stolen
Lynched questions crack and swell down your jaw

I kissed you through the passenger window
Cornering, not quite traveling
Christmas lights
cast my vellum tissue shades of what I write
I feel nothing

You meant faithless
But stuttered "you're cold"
Knockout
The match, not the round, is over
The dark room inflates and rises
I'm a tassel on its string, disappearing

I kissed you through the passenger window
Cornering, not quite traveling
Let me out, please
Help my bookmark fingers through the book I say I'm reading
Help me live the life I see in you

My typewriter arms catch and stall
Stall on each other
Hawks over water

My typewriter arms catch and stall
Stall on each other
Throats dry with quarry

My typewriter arms catch and stall
Telegram ellipses ringing out
Heart as hollow as a mouth
