i.
They didn't
quite know
what to do
so they place
upright hands
upon a red
oak table
ii.
tension rises
reading lines
branded into
soft flesh
as they lean
their head
against my
forehead
iii.
I never thought
tables would
become my
nemesis
iv.
until my
carnal legs
craved to
climb
across
that god
forsaken
table.

Red star
On hilltops
I sit alone
late at night
after hours
in the office,
counting dots
into red stars
glowing in
their own
violence
like your
sharp words
pirouetting
around my
thoughts.

Pulp
I can't
imagine it
without you
not having
you between
my fingers
curving loops
into the back
of godly flesh
in ebony ink,
this strange
dance only
we have
learned.

You are a small town
I yearn to
know every
street and
curve of,
how the
birds sing
little tunes
of their own
as trees
gift air
into my
passage.

It's a long time
trying to
remember
how good
it all was
before I
turned into
a comma
in your
storm.

Helmut
chooses coffee
and I sigh
knowing how
that could
turn out
but they arrive
with a clean tone
in vintage leather
and sunshine
wrapped
in locks,
asks permission
to embrace
my frame
that has seen
better days
has lived
better days,
I listen to
them speaking
with a bold
european
flow
as forty six
year old blue
begin washing
over burnt
out...

Your ears believed it never mattered
that my words
became less
everywhere
we travelled,
how my throat
began to swell
into autumn
leaves
sailing slow
down every
park river
we walked
how lungs—
yearned to
drown down
by the water.

It will never end
When you speak
about the warmth
in the middle of
your palms
you will feel how
my piano fingers
tucked slowly
into you,
when you watch
somebody else
climb out of
the shower
with raindrops
dripping down
from their hair
you will recall
how your lips
have waited
to kiss
every drop
off my skin.

Flare
I slowly watch
your hair getting
grey by the day
eyes exploding
into supernovas
everytime an
outburst arrives
almost like
it's on queue—
do you ever feel
exhausted being
wrapped up in
your own kind
of sabotage
are you enjoying
this dark matter
under the guise
of something else,
do you prefer
how size six feet
keep walking on
crushed glass?
must be tiring
not bringing
yourself into
the light
...
