coffee 
coffee burnt tongue
and tea in my throat
and Emaline's note
in the morning sun
coffee burnt tongue

under
my coffee burnt tongue
an unswallowed pill 
that undoubtedly will
start an argument
coffee burnt tongue

if you could see what i see
thèse vissions inside me
fog is condensing 
and angels come riding
each step i'm taking
some sin i'm erasing 
standing there naked
sleeping, untasting

my coffee
my coffee burnt tongue 
the words in my mouth
i can't get them out
air stuck in my lungs
coffee burnt tongue 

loving 
my coffee burnt tongue 
learning why it exists
in my furiousness
i come undone
my coffee burnt tongue 

if you could see what i see
an earthquake, a flooding
the mystery unfolding
my tongue is exploding
knowing, not knowing
the hand that i'm holding
and always that feeling
animals are growing
