he is broken glass and
she loves him anyway-
his hands are sandpaper slick
and she smiles ruby suns behind her lips.
they dance soulfully under street lamps,
their faces flooded with chills and
prayers and
hope
and she kisses his cautious memory.
he catches her tears in a rusty old can
and drinks them later-
she is his elixir
(his downfall).
and they erode each other to the dust
of nothing and everything
like passionate rollercoasters and blackened dreams.
august 24th.

i'm a dreamer.
