Her eyes, your solemn witness
are so unlike mine
I am untamed!
a loose humanoid chained
in gold
always spinning
under high beams
like it's no big deal
(while you reside
in your mind)
but why
can't I dream too?
I wanted you
to stay
you energized me
(every contact
left me broken yet intact)
Hallelujah!
You're outside!
Traced your face
in refracted light
Stand-still silhouette
Crop her
out
Fill the void
with blackened foil
while she makes nasty
public announcements
(and loves the attention
creating irrelevant banquets
and barbecues)
This was never my war
so hold fast to us
or crawl or
meet me at the door--
Wherever the blame feels
a little less
and confess
I was the one
you were looking for
