‘The Girl Who Speaks Too Fast’
.
Easts me alive I kiss. Her eyes I. Taste Her I drink Her words. I am Hers.
What is she doing tonight??
I am I am not. I am not I am
Tossing and Turning in the Net of the Conscious.
She will tear She will repair My mind.
What is she doing tonight???
I bite my tongue.
She. Bites her lip She lets. Her. Robe slip. She is there. She is.
Again I fall in to Her sweaty arms
She bites my neck my chest my arms
Drawing blood Love Blood And I am rubber.
What is she doing tonight????
Among other things, Tom writes poems and drinks a lot of tea.
The Girl Who Speaks Too Fast is a sweaty poem that explores addiction and desire.
