Idioms But No Words
I don’t know what it is
I couldn’t say to you, but
I know I saw the cat slinking off
with my tongue.
Your glances were cold,
frozen, like the lake
that could hold the weight
of the conversations I should have
kept buried in my cheek
but not the weight of
our skates.
I don’t know what it was
about where we were then,
but I think I’ve got the flesh
from both of our teeth.
