lyrics

His face fascinates me, mischievous yet kind, but with a softness I hadn't expected to find. His soft eyes are soft lashed, his soft fingers softly holding mass. Soft body, soft eyes, soft hands - but the tongue, as rough as sand, a pebble pushed into my mouth, a peppermint from a million miles south.
Single letters spelling out a single word, a message from the other side of the world:
m

maraca
This is enough to take me away. That she could know is insane. As insane as chirruping cicadas, as insane as hissing maracas.
Maracas humming like a rash. Is this espionage or witchcraft? How could she possibly know?
A message from the other side of the world. Single letters spelling out a single world.
Maracas wound up too tight and crackling. Bone and droppings inside a taut skin.

All is still now. He says, I know this number. It is my wife.
He has a wife.
