after the millions of minutes away from your body I want you
to move me, I want you to place me has you'd have me.
however violent or broken that might be
I'd hollow the divine & become catatonic
at your will of course.

I could silently bring about songs
melodies of breath against breath on a quilt,
bloodied only by friction of loving in the sweetest of ways
_we could click ourselves sitting upright and
under the influence
of my poetry and your body..
the fingertips of some god scaling the side of myself_
taking precise measurements as though you will be
here for a very long time...

inducing peace and
bringing about emotions unfelt,
cities in my heart unrealized and
I do feel like Judy Garland blazing through a metaphor
only you are right in front of me
while I am below you, underneath

in the shade,
taking pictures of prescription drugs
deep down yellow blown my body has taken you in
sweet relaxer, sweet killer_pervader, I want you here
alongside the sleep/ and I might be addicted
but I won't make any promises[

no more promises darling] I believe you already
and I had you because I read you and the way you move...
the way you watched me, I was watching you
cutting open an envelope_

I returned the favor and fell into your arms a heartbeat,
it was so romantic.
it was red and felt like a dream if I do know what
dreaming feels like, it could be breezing right past reality
or screeching tires before a wreck, a scraped knee_
uncertain, but definitely sure

among the scattered bottles and not so vivid recollections
I know that you are the only one I need and quite
possibly it could be the same for you.

or do I stumble too fast and trusting of another step that I could
be far too ready, you see now that you are wonder.
[my mind] and I so long to be that for you
aiming into the divine & physical when I am
supposing that you are the only tool I need
to paint the sky
write legendary
create love & live
without fading away into some unknown...

you are not only this,
but you are this and I believe this I do..
I do adore you

muscle relaxers

pain killers

sleeping pills

sex

drugs

emotions

swooning moving inside of my head

falling into the sweet sleep slowly
but oh so eager,

. . .
..
impatient and clumsy he rips away the top of the medicine bottle
& enjoys the loveliest time in good company
