"heavenesque" poems
we were
in bed
that day
when
there was a midday twilight
a daze crept over us
delicate
as a fast fog
it was the feeling of floating
a barely waking ecstasy
an unreal ethereal delirium
i cant describe it
it was
something
like nothing
ive ever felt before
in the belly of our canopy bed
in that forbidden flat
on a forever day
we laughed as she
pressed her head up
& pitched the draped overlay
wearing it
like a puffy white sombrero
as the
sun
filtered through
the linen cube glowed
a yellow shade
the two of us
waiting weightless
in this unearthly space
a monster teepee on a cloud
a sailboat in the sand
it all could have been
a heavenesque hallucination
but
for the fact that
she asked if i felt it too
i said i did
after she confessed
she had no words
to describe it
it was sublime
too simple
true
& it left by night
as we tucked in to watch movies
a mini projector hovering
images pressed against an endless cinema screen
almost as radiant
as our re-animation
