Girls in the tube




Girls in the tube

kissing

leaving marks

on each others skin

with mouths and tongues



Girls in the tube

killing themselves

but talking about it first

with the one

who turned her pink lips



Girls in the tube

breathing beside me

like heavy animals

shaking their brains

over the secrets whispered

by nude bellies

dangerously close



Girls in the tube

paying homage

to their open split and unborn blood

letting me describe them

with this cheap plastic pen

I think you should ask Santa for a nice new Pen for Christmas!!

What does "in the Tube mean"? On the TV?

Daughters you just keep my brain and heart pumping. I get so caught up in your writings I have to read them again and again. You keep me thinking. You are a poetic puzzler. Does that make sense. Any way you look at it...I am amazed! love Mother K
