offer me a calm sea and I will return to your island
a better man, I will never let you down
my wasted love
I will give the sky to you and upturn every mountain
shimmery lilac imitation
I will kiss you where it hurts and pose myself
lover in your worst nightmare, staring into the eyes of a statue
slipping away with every blink
drag these waters to your grave and never speak
gilded, wistful
Nairobi
Eridanus
looking out the window in the car
the sunset tonight reminds me of your dancing feet
the broken sinew of your archaic body
a mind's symphony
every harvest is another moon, a reminder of you
imagine there is no heaven
our plagued bones will rot, ravens will feast on carrion
revolving stars at the end of the sky
earthly bird sings the lyrics to the flowers
lovestruck, harpist
cajole the winds of our tainted shadows
lungs made out of wine
nights we talked about Poseidon
slipping away with every blink
drag these waters to your grave and never speak.
