Dancing Like My Mother

You showed him the rash on your neck
and the scab on your jaw
He said
"gross"
You said
"I don't have to sleep over, I can go"
He said
"I'll just make sure I wash the pillowcase tommorow"

You drink vodka and lemon on ice
in bed
in the dark.
You run your tongue along the chip in your front teeth till it pinches
your eyes droop. Your eyes droop
your phone chirps
and he wrote "i'll head home then, jb has some funny youtube clips"
you squeeze your eyes closed hard,
the words in negative in the dark.

2.
You pick up two rocks.
One is small and red, shaped like a heart actually
with white veins through it.
The other smooth and black with
white veins through it.
The wind so loud it pushes your short hair back
it rushes at your ears.
You pretend to not hear from your friend
over the wind, it's loud enough to pretend
that all you hear is the loud ocean like sound of it.

only tv and sleep
