A Boy With Roses

Fovea

In a chain groove by saltboxes, picture our contorting bodies, like a fetish on the tesseract 
Are you ashamed of your nakedness? The distance you see, hanging onto yesterday. I am a face on the scar 
Masturbating. In the blue finery of the ear 
Trees are a gimlet-eyed category. I listen to their psithurism, like slow burning music. I sink into them with glinting fear like weather birds
Tearless
Pervasive 
Today I\'m wearing different eyes
I study your ballet. Time, fading like a zine sticker after years of betrayal or a dream after sleep 
Shiny and white with a salvo of words. Dyed-in-the-wool
We are parallel hulls, possessing storms. Vital roots in ribbons like metaphors ravaged by winter teeth 
And the need to be more than this 
Mundane drudgery capering in shrines. The tree in its glad rags 
Masochistic, like being penetrated
Watching the moonlight in quicksand 
I adore all of that Dionysiac eyewash. I\'ve never been chary about it. The way you exit in blood. How you return loved, like mossy pulp. Cautious of the things you love. Drunken nights shining like pregnant sows. Your bad habits 
Licking his moustache 
We come here to talk. Ideas in our wallets. Sipping orange alcohol Remembering the sea of boyhood. Afternoons beholding the loneliest thoughts
Romantic like the nocturnes they play 
Fiction factories. Kissing you with lies. Disappearing into years wild with hopeless dreams. Pinewood and milkweed. Birthmarks. Existing in colour 
Boys, unicorns.
