buried by love

We are the chemical heart
of God’s children
buried under one headlight
of the self-dug grave of a stolen car

And this is the time
of the unintended
so please don’t hold me back

I can make you love me
just press your ear against
the cold shiver of my poetry
and feel the sandstorm below

Because I want to say we found love
under the desert skies
skittering across the landscape
like fugitive fireflies

But it’s not what you wanted
and I can’t face the soprano heartbreak
of my shattering love
so let’s just pretend
it’s not your blood on the floor
and your dead-eyed gaze
aren’t piercing my broken eyes
as I bury you in the sand
where you’d always be mine
until the end of time
