put a lit cigarette
behind your ear
took it in
when we were sober

all in a rage
blood on your paws
with hair on fire
we kept it in
when we were sober

a rotten tooth
pull it out
stick it in your
palm
so your mouth
can touch my skin
when we shake hands
when we were sober

we had a somber pillowcase
where we kept our tears
spilled at night
we said it was all torn up
so let it spill (spill)
wet those lips
wet that skin
only
but it was only
when we weren’t sober

we had a pup
a little storm dog
that ran off its leash
we chased it down
for vengeance
for a nice squeeze
for the way it smelled
when we
were

where do we keep it

remind me
