a photo montage of steel and clouds. Photo: David Zyou ring the bell. and walk up. your steps on steps. make little cliques on the varnish. it is half-golden. half-brown. and you float on the hand rails. i do not know your name.
but the feel of your skin. on my skin. your tentacles are in fright. gaping eyes hemmed with sweat. little beads of desire twirling on a carousel. on the stripes of your temple. i ache for your touch. you smell like honey dew and cigarette smoke. my eyes on your lips. my fingers on my thighs. who are you, mountain pearl? from the main of maine, you say. first, new england. and then, oh let us be god believers. like shepherds. and crucify our sexuality. in a blanket of mold. there is a god. on the precipice of clocks. ticking. a wave. and tides. pregnant with rage. and feisty hate. for the cuffs and blades. a september morning. remember? when you lost your son. in the pouf of shameless gray crystals. a harrowing cloud. and you split your head. against the wall of flame. in cold cement. by the stroke of brooklyn. for do you say your god took your son? and along with it, his beads of honor?
i will go mad. if by the green and your lustrous whim. you do not place your palms on mine. i will tear a snake of rivulets. spurting blood on your breasts. please. i am begging you. tell me your name. your love of myth and the gentle greeks outweigh the love of man. like charcoal chunks in flames. smoldering to death. hear the heart. beat. and beat. and beat. until you feel a twitch. you will cry. at pointless dreams. and verbal rhyme.
hand me a jar of smiles
