Morning breath

I see your brittle eyes

Your pupils break into shards
melting almost transparently
swimming away
only to drop
down your cheeks
and onto my tongue

And onto my tongue
salt pin pricks
spread sour
wooly words
that escape
fuming
with my breath
and fill the air between us

I see you turn away
