Tango-
Dusting prints from sunshine lips
Crescent trips to moons like this
Autos crashing dancing fire
Trails like matchbox grinding hips
Cancer sticks melting newborns
Dry ice twice around your head.

Infinite-
Powdered sugar hilltops
Spitting wine like laughing acid
Spilling infinity into starlight
Bottled friends feeding frenzied
Car lights, such bright mornings

Contemplation-
Hands in the ashtray and maybe I upset you
Can't afford the bandages and sunlight flutters eyelids
Lipstick lingers lightly on sweatshop bodies
Paralysis grown soft on rooftops sewn with glitter antibodies
Pretty ugly lies lie dirty on our minds.
