when the grey clouds swarm over my head,
I just move an inch away from your soul
we’ve learned to march on, we part, we hesitate
your dark side knows why a song climbs to a climax
then, your decrescendo and
the tinkling of my empty glass on the table
which spool is playing now? our bodies lie still,
un-betrothed, thus the story goes, thus the story will end
ears impaired by cries of the souls groping for the light
your eyes grow tired, my words do little to ease up
our symmetrical margins keep building and collapsing
we pretend we’re innocent of the fraud
we don’t say that we need to destroy to live
this is for another repetition, now moving in lethargy
heavy-eyed, untangling the night
from this prison cell
stupid longing,
when one is allowed a good sleep?
