Less Than Three Love Sonnets by tweedledum
2008 june 22nd and 24th
I. This is the love sonnet I promised you
You were the neighbor girl who falls asleep
with her cunt staring at the ceiling. Your
lips exploded against mine when I put my
mouth on every centimenter of your skin. I
liked the way your calves brushed against
wind, and the way your voice lowered two
octaves every time you tried to talk about
what breeded within the cold, damp environment
of your heart. You were exactly the right kind
of nightmare for my sanity in the daytime. But
I think that maybe a day will come when I'll want
to stop remembering, and you'll begin to pretend
I didn't let the tips of my digits forget the
easy sequence of your telephone number.
II. A love sonnet made of corn and cheese
You are the broken toaster that has set many a frozen
piece of sprouted-grain bread of mine aflame. The orange
of my forehead, the sleepy moment before I slip into utter
unconsciousness. I am the wisest fool you'll ever know
and You and I are antique vinyls protected by sheets of
plastic covering to avoid your scratches. I am no threat,
my nails have been whittled down to oblivion by your teeth.
I wonder if anyone else ever had that problem: a nervous
habit of biting the ends of your lover's fingers. It's alright to
me, though, it makes it all the easier for me to pretend I can
write fake songs for you and play guitar with stubby thumbs.
You and I are a mixtape filled with cliche pop songs, screamo
that's nauseating to the ear, gentle rap, and a silent orchestra
of MacDowell's Woodland Sketches-- this is: To a Wild Rose.
