Repetition: Stitches
Swing fist
swing,
like a song.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will stay with you.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will care for you.
Swing, swing, swing.
Huddled.
Hand over head.
Stop!
Being submerged under water
Ducking
nearer and nearer
to the drain.
The fear
makes me forget
that I love you.
Swing fist
swing,
like a song.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will stay with you.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will care for you.
Swing, swing, swing.
Glass
grooved
into my head.
The blood rushes
down
down
down
dripping
dripping
dripping
into my eyes
stinging like wasps
from the nest
that we pulled down
together, atop the old oak
on Orchid Lane.
Swing fist
swing,
like a song.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will stay with you.
Swing.
Swing.
Swing.
And I will care for you.
Swing, swing, swing.
