and other curses

Wishes
tears
gifts
silences
strong lovers 
weak coffee
day old bread

day old breath
unanswered letters
dirty floor dirty sink
too much too little 
never and all the time
awful awful heat
in the wintry womb
tears on my pillow
hair in my throat
over you
tell me how you really feel
tell me tell me tell me
you're depressed no you're depressed no you're depressed
well you're depressing so there
good talk, bro

now on to something completely different
'ow to pronounce the vowel sounds in
old inert art
(think of it catching in your throat)
and the h sound
in hard heart hotel
(think of it knocking the wind out of you)
not like hour
not like our hour
time and space are choking me
the lack of time and space is choking me
these things are true
and 
impossible
you're impossible its true
i can't care

marbles in your mouth 
might help you word things better
but what about your awful eyes
and that hideous mind
nothing can save you that.

you female.
