now 

just rivers

bent through our legs and rushing our thighs

i sleep between them and upon with sweat-doused pillows 

you still cant breath

as i wash your breastbone with my eyes

it teeters beneath your dress 

peel the pistol from the lettuce leaves

and bounce the barrel against the bitter of your tongue

the cataclysm of reggaeton thaws through our headphones across the room

if i stick my cigarette in your eye will it balloon pop across the room sending the cat into hula hoop spirals across the kitchen floor

puling its lips from the teeth torn tinfoil that wraps the glistened dirt shorn pan beneath

the clothes dryer rings

and the vibration of my phone is drowned by thunder of your sewing machine

silence breaks and i can hear the house home hum intricacies again

i know who walks down the stairs by the weight of their feet

brutal and

cunt driven

i am burning desire for your fragrance

i hear the temperaments of your speech pull across the room

across the music

i only have eyes for you

for youre greater than the city that consumes us

more beautiful than that which fills its museums and galleries

talk over rothko’s black on maroon

i dont care

and nor would he im sure if he heard you speak and light the room with your vocal intuitions

i write bad poetry

i guess

my friends say its good

no thats a lie 

they speak nothing of my verbal extradition

so when the tongue bounces and the lips flick the spit of allure leaps only from the deft

cry on crayon mounted fumbles

yYou,

yes you

ive no other way to say it

for thoughts are faster than volition of sense

crank your music

find a wine glass

or a mug

i know you love mugs

or any glass for that matter

and roll it across your ear

roll and roll and roll

let it blend and distort the fractions of sound that enter your ear

change the speed validity direction

let it chorus hum and scrape and caress your eardrum

pull it away and let the ear struggle find sense after

thats how you make me feel

against the noise of reality

that
