it's four in the morning
on a new moon night
your chipped tooth
looks like a crescent moon
dancing in the streetlight
we tuck ourselves
into worlds made of dreams
the people, the places
we love, we keep them up our sleeves
sunlight gets brighter as your eyes grow wider
in anticipation of what i'll say
come now and listen as i speak of lovers
whose eyes glow and glisten in honest ways
your tooth is a promise that truth can be broken
like bread on thanksgiving, the truth can be given away
the sun is still rising
we can't let them see
the wine-stained t-shirts,
trash and empties
