black velvet

there will always be girls
waiting breathlessly
to be kissed,

painting their faces and then
falling apart, fuelled by
drugs and drink

nursing heartbreaks
and heartache,
wallowing

but will there be boys
who become men
overnight,

who will take you home
and watch over you,
moving their lips –

in prayer?
