All the wrong reasons

she
rings the left side with the cool flat of her hand, singing a rap-tap staccato to the cigarette she grinds
out in the sink. there are points
for her, points
in which the sonic plush of her youth
drowns the i think i like-like you on her lips — a greedy, indigo tongue that
oh-so-tastes the words, drowning them somewhere in the line of her sunburnt neck.

behind her, the nylon trace of the curtain
flicks her hair, framing silver-quick words and my silent eyes.
they cut through the cobalt air.
