Crg Hill's poetry scorecard

How

do I

bite my tongue

 

It 

tastes so

good ground between

 

molars

raw fat

seasoned with blood

 

If

I tell 

you it tastes

 

otherwise

do I

swallow the lie?

 

Do

I gag

on my comment

 

when

my comment 

says it all?

Change

of guitar

she's intimidated by

Every

sun you

have ever read

She

got stuck

where you're from

Informed

by intention

around time forever

Not

that you

breast your laurels
