The heat warms up my cold  body.
I melt in your presence.

I saw something tonight,
something I'd been seeing for years
that always brought people together.
But ironically,
the sparks shooting across the sky
made me feel the
loneliest
I've ever felt.

**** up my body
and sell my soul,
I'm addicted to the night
and all it holds
you spent an hour alone in the pouring rain
fifty degrees and dropping
waiting, waiting
blocking out the chaos
with those borrowed grey earbuds that bruise your ears

maybe you wanted someone to see you
and ask why

or maybe you just wanted pneumonia
the beach ran out and here i stand
alone

sub-entry: 'turquoise dragon'

1. 
                                                    :: far-out incredulity ::
soft toy caught
in
wheels of red car



2.
                                                 :: deep shock ::
turquoise dragon
lies
in parts



3.
                                                  :: convincing denial ::
bearer of truth
in
harsh light



4.
                                                  :: piercing screams ::
see loved one
on
a cryptic, metal table




5.
                                                  :: that utter silence ::
after forty steps
it
will begin

I count minutes like I count light reflections
Off the window.
I count them on every finger
And every toe
And every cancer cell
Spreading like a wild fire
Burning whatever it is we have left
There is a purity in destruction
A nothingness where weakness is strength
So I watch
Count
Savor the flavor of the minute
Glenfidditch
Fifteen
A sickness rising in me
Too much spice
I count the minutes
Like I watch the wind
My tongue burned.
