i fell in love with a song
and it dragged me like a wave
where the current meets the ocean
it soaked my dress so I can digress
the wave became your love that
appeared like a ghost and like
a ghost faded through walls

i'm in an interstellar voyage
reading your melancholic poems
speeding up my rocket to find your
verses scattered all over the kuiper belt

...and a new suffocation was born.
   It synced with her arbitrary res-
   piration. I had to stop her 'cau-
   se she was choking and she'd spit
   hurtful bills that cut her throat...

increase
in released
episodes from
your world:        rare
                             random
                             ransom
for requested simplicity
oh the space made in your busy schedule
for salty lipstick splashed phone numbers

...and her ink-saliva printed bills of higher denomination
   and she exhaled with the same urgency as that of a subs-
   titute grim reaper that forgot who or why he had to ****...

arms
attached
to  benches
aim to let go
the satellite kite
that bounces left
and right like trance music
                     a swing dances
                     on my dendrites
                     that hold on
                     to your memory

your dilated-brown-eyes
expand like the naples-yellow-sun
you look at melting my blood-red-heart
diluting my deep-blue-feelings
