ghazal for kate

version 192924billion

 

a whitewashed fence looks orange beneath the lamplight and

i think she's beautiful, limpid on last autumn's leaves

 

her knees are stark against the dirt back drop as the bruises blossom

like varying species of olives mounted upon her calves

 

hand in hand, we stumble through the deadened plots where

the drying sheets look more like billowing, middle-eastern scarves

 

and the pink fireworks rocket across the asphalt as her

stomach explodes out her throat and into a slew of adjectives
