Amina Shareef Ali - Laurel Leaves
When Laurel wakes, in a fog of dreams and hairWhen Laurel aches, she aches everywhere
Her belly, her shoulder, her temple throbbing and sore
When Laurel leaves, she leaves me wanting more
When Laurel cries, her eyes more red than blue
When Laurel lies, the truth more false than true
It's a misprinted headline, the former tenant's house keys
When Laurel leaves, she leaves me ill at ease
When Laurel leaves, she don't leave me with a lot
If I had the shot, I would take back every part
Every sin, every wicked or noble thought
Out of the goodness or badness of her heart
When Laurel spreads herself across my skin, I never felt so soft
When I can't pick out her flag above the fray, I never felt so lost
When Laurel lends herself to my stock, I taste her more the next day
When Laurel keeps me, she keeps my troubles at bay
When Laurel keeps me, she keeps my troubles at bay
