The signal fire is coming home. Desperately clinging to smoke from the shores gun, we came from heart in wire. Two souls at a negotiating table, one wounded, the other taking them in. Eyes-One String, a pregnant belly full of words. Your reclining head, covered in violets. Maybe its better, if you don't say this isn't everything you are. The empty bar is quiet in New York.. 20 secs till the last call as I run to the next page, in the next chapter. Fraile hands hold voices in quakes and strange music. This room, a shade of wine, suspended names in vocal chords. Glasses filled all afternoon, now sip as I draw the curtain. comfortable silence blooms alongside a paved road, somewhere only we know... in stones it is scattered, spilled against stolen skin, tattered never torn. A skeleton key, the master of morse code. Tattooed against my neck. sweat.blood.tears holding tight scars beneath the surface. intertwined fingertips pulsate against the rim of paper, like the marching bands of manhattan. distance has torn this earth once, vindication. Drive, Darling, Drive. setting the fire, to the third bar. lifting the sheets that cradle your ****** hands an emergency room filled with nurses the crossfire, in my bones, bleeding that dark roman wine across tables of a teenage dream. A heroine saved a life, A hero is absolute. searching for warmth beneath your pen, your scalpel. found there is your lifeline, dense breath and trembling. Stay, you found me. Knitting away at your skin, brushing against violet bruises, imprints of days gone by. A tower, someone like you, a soldier in silence. memories reflected in abandoned tattooed houses. curved around palms, grasping the last bit of crimson tide. The reason why: lights burn to crack the shutters in an attempt to fix you, candles and fireflies inside these lines, just say yes as the city winds back down into the wild, and we into the fire. bricks against our backs, the electric feel of home, at your side now, an outline of womb fired venom fallen empires consuming day old hate. every drop of words, swallowed. vicious stains left by hands, yours. we go tonight, this poison and wine. A wooden chair held last night, friday, after the fall. Like glycerine dripping into rain fast cars As I continue to sew all of what your wrist let fly away in this moment. Georgia, Texas Rain. Brush it off. There are better days, ahead. The remnants of life are on the blade. For god sake, dear.
