party for two

ships were crashing 

like before

you latched it tight

the cellar door

where dusty bottles

in oxblood hues

delightfully tinked

pinging the blues

we hid beneath

the earthen shore

the sighing dirt

the last good by

your lips i yearned

to bite once more

beeps

animal brain

a hungry whore

my human heart

a loser still

plays tug of war

before the storm

we toured your house

you held me 

like

hope was there

up the stairs

around the yard

down the hall

past nooks and books

wave at the waves

i wish you'd said

before i'm silent

before we're dead

it's happening now

don't you see?

our life,

our love

lost at sea
