Belongings (Free verse) by Christof
And how, whenever she took your hand
She held it tight enough to pinch
She kept it in her pocket like a coin
She stroked the knuckles until they purred
She owned it
And how, whenever she spoke your name
She pursed it in her mouth like schnapps
She crooked it in her throat like cream
She wrung the vowels until they rained
She drank it
Is what you'll remember
When you ring up her Mum
And ask What the fuck has she done with my clothes?
