lifesaver.

this taste is dreadful in my mouth. i was in the tropics when the dust melted into my mouth and gnawed at my teeth. i'm a child again and i taste it in the sour dew. the warmest taste blooms and i am shipwrecked. floating in the ocean of this mouth i am rescued. now i float in circles running on a string held by you. by you, i hear you crunch down. my mouth trembles and i wake up and know i am alive. now i know what blindness is for i couldn't tell you what flavor this was if i tried.
