Meant for stars only

-->

A lustrous insanity requires viewing

You can stare

But who said your ability was short of the disability we inadvertly share

Once I rode a horse back, bare

I cried

Not because I was 5

But because I was falling with every step

and

you forgot to show me that

it was a tear that fell

showing his face

my tear

his face gone

maybe dead

now…

I fall to show him how…

I fall…

he….

stands laughing

in a moonlight

Meant for stars only!

crawl

 

Time to carry these limbs to bed,

A new morn awaits;

Life is in that.

You are a flotsam wet rag

of shoe shine joke

Your fingers ache with the knowing

as keys hang below

like nobodies business…

Scrabble lay neatly in your face!

Nothing explaining the terms of this agreement,

between heart and face

Cream of whose crop?

You were bent over then…

It’s easier to see the beauty in a crouched figure.

The sun is far more accommodating on the lowly.

In these moments

words come slow and torment

drunk gives way to sober again

and it's your face that makes the bile turn

in me

I want to crawl

I want drag my body against rough ground

and taste asphalt between my teeth
