We Could Be Soulmates - Michelle Tea

[hypothesis_a]

We could be soulmates

hey now tall girl
aren't you bored
all by yourself in your messy room
smoking pot till you head spins
out of your pillow
don't you want to be my
sister we can cut
ourselves open and
share what's inside smear it
altogether so there's a forever
with my name sliding through
your veins we could be
bloodsisters like two sweaty girls
in a backyard hideout you know
it might sound cliche but you
look like the virgin to me and
i want to be that holy child
chewing at your nipple
i've seen you
moving down valencia your
sharp bones poking at your clothes
when you walk it looks like dancin' and
hey there tall girl
don't you know you
sucked the heart right
out of my throat
this is serious
we could be soulmates you
are in my dreams like destiny
got me tossing back shots of whisky shots
of scotch trying
to get back
to the taste
of your
teeth
i'm waxing alcoholic, trying
to get back to the smell
of your mouth
breathe it into my face
like a kind of masterbation
tall girl don't you know
not to be givin' tattoos with
your eyes and when you
curl those lips like
the most perfect wave i
wish i was a surfer,
i'm not even blonde i
found a recipe for desperate seduction
in the back of tihs book you need
cinnamon group antler and the
pulverized eggshell of an
infertile dove but
it's enough to call out prayers
for the accident of seeing you
on the street your tall head poking
the sky hey there
tall girl
don't you want a sister of
at least a cup of
coffee?
