EACH OTHER
Got a dolly with comfort soul inserts
Helps me carry around love
In fifty-five gallon drums
We terraform love cats on planet Bygone
And make beats on cotton strums
Forlorn lovers forsworn since eternity
Beat back fancy lipsticks
And drink each other in
Selflessly
(Now that time is come)
Mimes paint pictures of foreign faces
Gasping for air they try to
Trace traces
But their place is
In history.
Their dirty necks smeared with
The make up of memories
But they only take up
Silent tunes of disharmony
Filthy hands paint pictures in the sky
Crossed fingers hide away lies
But they're trivial
And that peace brings pieces
Of our puzzle now assembled
Got the corners lined up
And the edges look beautiful
Evenings bring darkness
Then the heart is
Safe to quench fire
Carnal saturation like pyres
Beat a new rhythm
Sopping soaking certainty
Seeping syllabic ceremonies
Fan coals of lust to flames
Bring to hard fruition
The longings of the day
Pretty pet lies tranquil
Adorned in sweat and able
To give herself over
To sweet confessions
And now that
My obsession's
Come to me
I'll swim circles in her navel
And collect dew
In the small of her back
There's no lack in our unity
-Only perfect seclusion-
We a desert isle with palm trees
Blessed by a shipwreck
Of everything
Pull up trinkets and treasures
From the bottom of our center
And share them in the moonlight
Share in the waves of our color
And delight in the ways
Of each other
