Our Synchronized Delirium
I wanted to swallow the cottony clouds
pour the night into my lungs
listen to the harmonized breathing of the stars
crunch the wafer moon between my teeth.
When you hid behind a sterling chain
and smoke coiled around your sand papery throat
(a mask concealing the Thursday afternoons
we spent wandering among the drowning daisies)
I stapled on an artificial cherry smile
to match the filth and mire
your crumpled debris
concealed with sugar dusted eyelids.
He whispered his dreams
of dancing atop her enticing complexion
imprinting silhouettes against the sky
watching the sunbeams beneath the tears,
but he had already fluttered
to the city suffocating in pollution
for his dusty wings
where singed at the edges
so I waltzed alone:
feeding love letters to the sea
carving "I Love You"s into her skin,
my existence erased by the reaching waves.
