gypsy on the upline, go time – shake your bangled wrists at me

Brilliant shards of light fall down on me unerring
cutting into my skin like prophets wagi

two-edged sword double sexy (twice as achey-breaky)
-
the colors begin to blur and I
am a faithless fool going circles in a square
-
your salt tears turn into coffee
before dawn breaks.
-
leaning against the sky with lips
sketched in gold.
-
it seems forever since
we sat beneath the shadow of the palo verde
-
the sun is ending-- I hold you tightly GONE you slipped between my fingers ( un done )
-
we two stand here
alone, with bare arms crossed.
-
-
boom boom
I try to tell you
-
-
-
I am falling
in this emp t i ness
-
(sitting alone in a dusty room
with you)
-
in the breeze - full with the pink
blushing blooms of spring
-
falling now, you look up:
face the midnight that
-
let me see the way -
wherever it is -
-
you throw things at the window
until the glass breaks and
-
-
-
and I stumble
beneath the shadow of a bloodgood tree.
-
-
-
the world
is falling down
-
you whip your head around, and you
are still alone
-
I squint at a taxi going slowly down the street,
thinking I should flag it down.
-
you laugh. your smile is beautiful and
more importantly, convincing.
-
bathed in echoes
of yesterday, the moonlight speaks to me.
-
sitting in the chair
you never left,
-
breathing from another side
of sorrow,
-
there is nothing to do but
smile
-
I feel the thread being strapped around my shoulders and under my arms. Then, I am fastened in, and I am a god. I can do anything.
-
lovely Prosperina, even the flowers, enchanted
by your beauty, sing
-
he turns away
from the cold sentinel
