concern for cliches


my iodine mouth stains yours with a kiss
we are sick with the weather change
our hands small and cold together
in this old earth, you bury bulbs
and dance around, glance around my way
i'll get a warm chill in my gut
we met in ruts
but i'm quite happy now
in respect for redundancy
and a concern for cliches,
i keep quiet at times like these
but my mind churns, turning
over thoughts of your beauty
and our strange love
and yes, i'm a bit awkward, but
i can think of worse things
and you're a bit moody, but
we can buy some mood rings
and watch rainbows pass across
your fingers
so that's not so bad either
