mountain teeth
i’m cold breathe in the evening
i’m messy morning-hair after sex
i’m the smelly sneakers you walk in
i’m a probable cause of stress.
i’m the snapping sound of fingers.
i’m an echo in mountain teeth
i’m the sweat in your nervous fevers
i’m the one you’re underneath.
i’m the dial of every phone call
i’m the text of every send
i’m the reader of your daily life
i am not your lonely friend.
