Toru Okada Ruined Tongues
We spoke in ruined tongues our words illegible
We were merely two disfigured kids
holding hands in the dark
as if this was our only unspoken connection
And I wanted to feel the pain
you had whispered about moments before
And the back of the truck was cold
and you had put your head down
and I all I wanted to do
was move across the flat bed
and lift your head up
and kiss you right there
with nothing but the city street in movement
And I wanted to do was something
I m always like that
I never do or say anything
My actions are forever mute
I wish you could understand
what is going on in my heart right now
it makes no sense
