Smokey from Ilana by Homeowner

Blood grooves
behind your eyelids
and cuts into shapes in your head

You see me
falling asleep in a
strangers bedroom again

it's 2 am
and it's cold as hell

Cold smokey smell
in the kitchen
as I'm burning these eggs

You float
offa the stove top
to cover my eyes and my face

open your eyes
there's no one around

it's just one more day of driving around
checking your phone all the time
images pressed to your brain iron out
they coalesced
and blood's all that's left

Smoke floats
out of your moth
and swirls into shapes round your head

it's 2 am
and it's cold as hell
