where life begins

     

we
   siesta

in sweltering noon

honey
      drops

tension

fascination
evaluating every step

      (you wait here)

when you are broken
you become stronger

healing like a bone
splintered and splinted

your two-dimensional
smile

unhinging

           my knees

faceted
around your waist

swinging on

how
this music tells me
nothing

but the mistakes
i’ve made

today

conversations
                rolling

down

while
you scream,
believing you are someone
else

the air trembles
      anticipation

your green eyes
blue skies

dreams of better times

      (you know im lying
half the time)
