wake up, love

undress yourself from my skin

put on the sun and let our dreaming rest

come watch the world rise



wake up, love

and be unbalance on the edge with me

of our sagging, remembering bed

come slip on your shoes



wake up, love

and help me sort this tangle of belongings

our thoughts half in day, half still in night

come kiss me full of sustenance



wake up, love

and meet me at the opened door

before the scent of you leaves my hands and hair

come walk with me into this life

I don’t imagine you

saran-wrapped in black latex

or seeping out the edges

of something tight and red



I don’t close my eyes

to dream of your back

arched at the impossible angle

of a bow pulled tight

encouraging your shoulder blades

to drip the blood

of stockpiled broken hearts

but I hope the sound

of you not shielding your eyes

from my blinding humility

will one day top the charts



it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever heard

and you’re the charlie chaplin of your beautifuls

because you make me believe it

when you say it all without saying a word



looking at you it occurred to me

I could sit around all day

wearing nothing but your kiss



you make mirrors

want to grind themselves

back down into sand

because they can’t do your reflection justice



and this just in

I am done with those

who in life would have made me fight

an army of imperfections

a battalion of flaws

tonight we’re going to keep this city up

when they hear our bodies

slap together like applause.
