WE – The Lucky

We are e) All of the above a) the lips, b) the kisser c) the pressing against and d) the kissed Lucky us, We, who get to depress our soles into the streets Soil the sheets – and lie in each others’ wet patches and car accidents Digging in Burying the dead and burrowing under piles of e-waste, iGadgets and an alphabet of texted abbreviations Unsuccessfully trying to tattoo the markings of our invisible lives Making each step matter Excreting our essences like the cats rubbing cheeks against ankles dogs pissing around the perimeters in defence of territory
