Eight months in and a helicopter later
before you’d point, say I always thought he was weird,
the backs of buses were heavy off Apache kissing
while you stomp it’s savant sister when the sun goes down.
Missed the pinhead sixty times with some practice,
you learned to love what comes from loaded guns.
Brass and deadbolts you laughed off of my bedroom
then sleep behind a kiln door to which your daddy holds the key.
You are high over a sunset mountain
High above your southern draw
High off your skinny weekend
You think I’m wrong.
Your smile climbs minds darkened wings of
an angel; sweet seventeenth in a neon synagogue.
I came in orange I came in wishing I were blind
to find a nightstand of an altar made with the boy we knew.
That night I found your name engraved on the blade in God’s spine.
You’re one to twist but you left him to drown
in the blood you drink from the mouths of monthly Sundays.
It’s raining trumpets and I left my windows down.
I am the dead man dying
I am every end untied
I am a grape shaken from the muscadine vine
You think I am dumb.
Had a dream you studied in Lake, Montana
and had another, one that didn’t come true.
I read your letters carved in grains of the barley
enough to stretch seams of these burlap lungs.
Wheat bouquets were addressed to Montana
picked from plains where we dug our own graves,
daisy chains tied into their forever
wrapped those and words I woke to regret:
I’ll be the sun in your sundress
I’ll drive a gap year into the ground
I’ll buy a bat from the heartbreak store,
now I think I’ve hurt myself.
When everything turns towards you and I mean everything
that you’re made to face yourself,
you may be alone or have a man at home
but you’ll still be alone in a world that left you.
If you’re waiting for a hallelujah,
there is your hallelujah.
I’ll still be the girl who fell in love
with a dying lightning bug
that fell off the don who danced on
Strickland Avenue–who the hell are you
dancing tightrope diatribe?
You’d learn every word in every language
but not a good reason why.
Drop my lungs through my brain
you know that won’t make you right.
Go, listen on The Mountain!
I am not flying I am fled
I go to sleep beneath the voice of a lamb
beneath the vale of a man.
The prayers we once swallowed
to never beg steal or borrow
you buy and I suffer
some vintage usurper.
One night you may finally wake to find
your windows all broken
and next year is gone again.
