Blue Moon

12) Fixation

Chapped lips

for chapped smiles

and bitten nails

for endless scratches

Did we forget

to see in between

and walk straight through

in passing, and missing

sore lips for our

sore smiles

and tired eyes

for our sleepless nights

Did they pass us by,

again?

Powdery cheeks

for the dust

in top of our heads

Did we forget

us again?

Closed eyes

for maybe dreams

closed mouths

for china smiles,

We're passing us

and them by,

again.

Shouting heads

for unspoken hopes

Sharp listening

for harsh whispers

Were we missing,

were you missing us?

Did we walk straight through

eyes fixated, deviate-

no, fixate.
