my pregnant wife sleeps in the heat of the afternoon dead moths crumble on the office window sill its a silent hot day; perfect for strange memories to come & pay a visit like when me & her drew blood from each others fingertips & gave vows in the ears of the kingdom & the pit never knowing the consequences for she was hopeful & i was drunk we stand together today with those vows recognized by the cosmos praying day & night failing day & night falling short forever
