Our necks arching long in smoke.

Autopsy, us:

You sleep with a reflected

me. I watch us through isinglass, our

limbs filmy, gelatinous. I reach in

to unclasp the pulmonic valve, and our tongues

reach for each other like clouds

visiting themselves in puddles.

Drug war:

Bury him in Spanish.

Bury his rifle and all the bees.

And bury me my knees, drowning to ecstasy.

How we love to score / (buying glass pipes at the barrio store):

We say it’s the last, we say just one more.

We say the war we’re not responsible. We say

we won’t. Then we pull roses, petals leaking

thread, red blossoming their glass tombs.
