Pebbles and pistachios wrinkle in our pockets like my mother’s attic wedding dress. From the side your nose looks like an oil well. The gas station is 2.5 miles away from here. We’re walking there for bottles that we’ll empty and then leave next to churches in place of slaughtered lamb. Sky punctures our wrists. You tell me the weather will be painting itself bruised fireworks for the next week; I tell you about yawning. It is summer and I am thinking about your hand overwhelmed by sweat and how two years ago it was winter and your hand was still broken but I made you hold my wrists anyway. Last time we were in the park we drank like muskrats. Corporeal ***** stained the grass like knees: varnish for the ink that grappled the insides of our tenderly wired bodies.
