The Hook
Vanessa Daou
GENRE The hook.
We learned all the pleasures of the tongue
before we knew each other's names,
long after all the pain had come.
Imagine the shock of a fish when a hook finds its mouth and pierces its roof. Then the sigh it heaves when it shakes it loose. Our first kiss was like this.
I used to swim in open waters like a lazy cod without a thought of the delicious bait. But time lets our fears loose and wе drift with no logic, like a cork on the sea, a row boat, sail
Now I'm likе a shark in the dark
I never close my eyes anymore
I twisted like an unruly marlin so I'd love you this madly
I knew how the story would end and I would miss you this badly
And in the end I'd do it again, ooh
And there's the hook
And there's the hook
And there's the hook
And there's the hook
