Lines

Draw a line. 
Make it full and bitter. 
Lump it on the nib. 
Louder than the surface of the Sun. 

Draw a line. 
Grip the throat. 
Catch the knuckles. 
Lift the skin red.

Draw a line. 
Stiff the page. 
Bite the lip. 
Fill the want.

Draw a line
Of loose association. 
Clouds of smokey small talk
Snuck behind the shed.

Draw a line.
Forbidden.
Wet to touch and suck
From thumb and forefinger. 

Draw a line.
Again. Again.
Flames and disguise.
Behind the eyes, again.

A line inside 
A line 
That never ends 
In you, a line.

Thank you so much for reading my work. It means a huge amount to me to have even 1 minute of your time, let alone the attention needed to read and understand these words. If you like what you see tell other people about it - it is the absolute best way to support me and my work and I would appreciate it hugely.
