How I Feel Today

today i'ma full o' jitters
my mouth clatters
my tongue glitters

my head is a dried pea
my teeth are full o' coffee grounds
no rainwater could soothe me
or tooth me, these old sounds

wire through my new bones
and o'er the earth, ocean foams
o'er a gray field pound red roans
thisiz how my head feels

all cluttered up with old stones.

today i'm a spark-rocket
in the dark depth of a bird's eye socket
and i fought hard for this ore locket

but you know what i've got?

the moon in my pocket
