Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life
while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a
little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand
he can note down what he sees among the ruins.

Citric Acid (previously recorded)

One end of me held in your teeth
Split and sliding over your buck smirk;
The other pinched in your dirty fingers
Nonchalantly bruised.

A twisted orange peel:
With sticky juices dripping down your chin;
Down your wrist,

Your mouth always makes me cockeyed,
Looking two ways at once

Then I drop
Inertly uncurling
My soft white flesh left touching itself.
