sleepy one, rose-scented

she was like rose-scented
a rose who smoked cigarettes
she wore those big too big hats
she missed him sometimes
sometimes
when she couldn't sleep
afternoons mornings at night
she was sleep walking
talking crazy at nights
she was anxious anxious
she was best lover the only one he loved
she was a hooker a hooker the only one he got
hoochie goochie goo
she was a butterfly
she flew to the candles she burnt her wings
her papercuts burnt her fingers
she missed him sometimes at night
she was sleep walking
she was sleep drinking
sleep-getting-addicted to him
she was sleep-living kind of sleepy dream
sweet the sweetest kind of thing
she was sleep-making-love to him
sleeping lovers
caught in the middle of
sleepy fools-the only kind of those in love
foolish fooled fooles
sleeping foolish lovers
