we were
looking at the pulsing stars
then we blinked and
the sky was gone
i reminded him
i did not promise you anything

Dream
When your sleeping breath heaves out a tropical breeze
Whispering across the steady streams of my back the waves of my spine
The warm rhythm of ripples does not end until I am in a dream of
Hot white sand on my thighs palms rustling behind
And the cerulean crystal expanse before us is urging us to rise with the sun in paradise
So I blink
To find my lonely flesh
Stale without you
Bristling at the rain
Sinking under the weight and ash of the sky
Desert Trip
The moments are slow when daylight rules and regulates with its majestic restraint and royal logic but
They were driving between canyons and she thought the sky was hers
Imagined she was immortal
Dreamed she had him once
Held a piece of his existence closely, secretly
After traffic had dulled the senses she found her body blissfully floating in a courtyard pool in the middle of the desert while her heart sank to the bottom like lead and when he reached for her hand there was a terrible haze of fragmentation
And she thought
If only this was the expected collapse into a high-density oblivion like before stars explode, a symphony of destruction, and I would still have you and you me and I could catch your scattered pieces of celestial ash in cupped palms grateful that you have been constant through my graceless passage into years
