BLINK
I tasted sleep on your tongue
had it ended or just begun?
Didn’t know
I traced the lines in your palm
You said i’d brushed your thumb
Didn’t know
Upon your lash i could smell the sea
Turned into a salty cheek
Didn’t know
I thought how you broke a sweat
(Running through my mind)
Looked for a place to pay my debt
Haven’t found it yet
Didn’t know
And saw it peering through the sky
Like the pupil in your eye
Time froze
But it didn’t close
