On a quiet sort of day,
Where the clouds looked like sugar cubes,
You looked at me.
Two eyes in the shape of a
Camera lens, you photographed my
Double vision as I held onto you
Helplessly
A throng of exuberant mourners, the lot of us
Spilling out from the edges of calamity
Coming together to dance,
Inebriated on contact high and fresh air,
We find ourselves on the battlefield
Still not recovered from the last war,
We go in unprepared for victory
When it comes,
We don’t know how to hold the shape of
It in our arms
Is it 3D like the sugar in the sky?
Is it 2D enough to fit on my letter to the morgue?
Red silk flows out of sleeping bodies
The ***** in my heart wails
I clutch onto the sideline
Pitching myself headfirst
To find you in catastrophe
The movement and the alabaster
Of your teeth
Don’t show up right on the polaroid
You complain to me with only one eye left
My vision swims and I grab onto your arm again
Helplessly
I put a cloud between my teeth and
Bite down
