just as you are
we melted like wax
throughout the night
into globs, stranger than
cafeteria food
maybe beautiful
if you like gray sloshy alleyways
romantic structures
filled with granules
of blacks, whites
blurry irises
crooked teeth
and
too-thick-glasses
there are so many
secrets
like library books
sensual mystery
we can never know
it all
but,
bottles of wine
tell funny stories
fast and stackedsohigh
shutUP me
i want to shout
but sneakily you get it out
careening gyroscope plink plonk
on piano keys
are our lives
scribble something twomblyish
on my heart
it will be
magnificent.
