You

That wasn't your head rolling by, was it?

You haven't gone off your meds again, have you?

For the halos in the morning, nooses by afternoon.

Elegant are the pajamas for the voyage,

nailed the shingles to the house.

I'll never forget when I touched your breast

you sighed a name proximate my own.

I wasn't a tree or a cloud or a crow.

We both had someplace else to go, leaning

over other railings, letting the sea have the letter.

I'm sorry I kicked you apart then reassembled

you wrong, always an extra piece or two

because it seemed the right thing to do

to replace your brain with a fuse box,

your voice with a stereo so under my pillow

the subwoofer could go, little purr,

little wolf, let's eat each other's hearts.
