OPEN

Open heart leads to

Open book leads to

Wide open leads to

Open legs and

Open mouth.



All of these secrets I'm telling like I'm tattling.

You've got my heart rattling in its chambers,

like chains on a prisoner that succumbs to the pain

or the shudders on a window blown by air

and struck by rain.

And from my fear of all these things I feign

that cool, collected visage

I use to shadow all my true wishes

to be someone's misses

or at least a long term "shorty"

by the time I reach 40.



Open heart leads to

Open book leads to

Wide open leads to

Open legs and

Open mouth.
