he rinsed both
hands in the
sink
,

watching the soil spiral down
a drain, corroded
and clogged

he
scrubbed,

marveled that his
nails came
so clean

after living neck
deep.

and inspired were
dream clouds

as we stood
beneath
them

in a pose that had us
believe we could
reach them.

listening in ways
that open
me

to depths i’d long
foreseen,

then when your lips
parted to
share

i felt for
what you dreamed.

like stars
in a blooming cosmos
,

those flecks in
your eyes

held me
mesmerized,

as planets swirled
about
us

threatening
collision.

on your humble
hands

i feel years
of toil,

still trembling from
from demands

of men who don’t know
sand from
soil.

this city in a
raindrop

and my eyes crawl
all over the
window

trying to find a
dry spot,

thinking i should
see you
soon.

the warning lurked
hidden and
coiled

beneath a smirk
that peeled
enamel

from the very
teeth

that bit
air.

waxen wings graze
water

as cracks in ice
skitter along
a pond

ripe with
life

yet calm with
cool.

shedding that first
layer

allowed the rest to
crumble
out,

never again to be
sealed
in

where contents could
no longer
breathe.

his mind’s a
coffee
shop

with its
murmurs.
.

spills..

and lack of quiet
space,

amidst head’s busiest
times of
day.
