Suck My Tongue

Bleary eyed hankering after the bottle
Adieu pride!

Someone write on me
Scrape my granite, write
"I love you"

Shake my hand
Pat my shoulder
Grasp my bicep
Slap my thigh

Better still
Hug me, kiss these parched lips
Suck my tongue
Blow breath into my lung

Too young to get this old
Without a lover

......

In the morning over eggs and bacon
See little cold pattering feet run
On slabs of blue
