I pretended to be perennial
with my bark down for your eyes
to cut initials from cross words

or other semi-precious names
from your list of unlisted numbers
seldom called but often answered

we kicked the tires of the new cars
in the junk yard wondering
of their empty backseat bedrooms

and why there was never room
for full grown in anything
but the hearses and pickup trucks

you said my mouth was funny now
when I said your new name
that it smiled automatically

on purpose I replied in other words
I said more slowly just in case
you wanted to cover them

with your hair when the music was slow

you said my mouth was funny now
when I said your new name
that it smiled automatically

when the lips hold back but the mouth turns up automatically, it becomes your most sought after jewel...and the most priceless gift in the world....

Beautiful! I love reading this
kind of poetry and trying to uncover
hidden meanings....

New name, new identity, but heart strings play the same old song... My heart sticks in my throat reading this one.
