I can see ghosts in your eyes you carry them like hopes, clutched close and tightly held each one a knot in lifes rope, clouds form in and around the iris
You sit on my knee Wriggling like a serpent Contorting like a gymnast Like a buttered chimp Head butting my lips
some people need to be wanted while others want to be needed most of the time signs are read other times they go unheeded count their pain on your fingers
