The Wax

something in the room

makes me want to lose

my attention to

everything i do

i wonder

i wonder to

i wonder

i wonder to

wrinkled, black and blue

anchored by its tooth

crawls away into

the space left by you

(i wonder

i wonder to

i wonder

i wonder to)

(why hide your

face from me

anyway

if you plan to go

stay here and

show me your

stripes, take a bite

of my time)
