I
____ smiled
that kind of icy blue smile of a noonday
reckoning, the tied together two of tell-tale pictures
i've sketched in sand castle plots and plans. similar
starting points, both for
sin and shooting blanks. but
it's always the
unseen sharp pang; the awkward rhythm
of the dance like
a tick-tock clock in that
heart of hearts repeating,
"there is no happy here, there is no happy here..." devil may care touches trickled down
spine, thigh, and breast may
never truly illuminate the finer art of
heartwork.II
i was turning over with the sheets, and facing the
arched back thinking of how my eyes, half-opened,
caught her arm
moving from side to side, but
never to me. it's all connected by
blank words to tell empty
promises of
clumsy miscommunication. so we say what we
will, to see what we may, to find a Biblical knowing
enfolded within the next few hours. it's too bad,
too tragic... i spent myself
choking on the motions
leading up to said misfortune.
