Adjusted

Your tongue has moved ill
killing tulips in my eyes

My heart cuts itself out         fears the ground
cold and surrounded with feet
will you not hold it?

I’m adjusted you say     all the sudden
you have these words
fast and accurate           without notice

Words seem more important
without my poison tongue around you
Uncorked         clean and wood-like
they fall from your mouth      into my ear

with my heart on the floor
at the mercy of your feet.
