my servants run up and down
up and down
adding then going back for more
my outer shell is too thick
for my sensors to reach
and feel their spindly legs
my mouth has long been buried
under the most precious bits of the junk yard
fit into a permanent smile shape
but it doesn’t matter
she stills lies besides me
her eyes half closed
her limbs tucked in
I can still feel her heat,
from toe to head
and everywhere in between
her lips are still pressing on mine
the taste of oranges
with the curve of a smile
it didn't matter that she wasn't real
Very evocative words!
ReplyDeleteIs this about a termite queen? I don't know why...but I keep thinking a huge fat termite queen buried in the ground.
ReplyDelete-.- No. It is not a termite queen. Nor did that thought even remotely cross my mind. -sniffy voice- I'm much classier than that doncha know?
DeleteAww, sad ending.
