21.7.13

(you're) the jelly-bean in a jar of sardines




and i could kiss your flight, 
when you tumble into clothes, 
your warmth like a brush of sun 
on the skein of your hair; 

i slightly love it when the shampoo rinses 
and i am left to drain into a puddle, its 
a tangle to be out from you. 

your sandalwood slip beneath my nose
like the fine wine i would sink your 
body into, to bottle that scent and 
braise my bones in it. 

i would ache on my lips and let you hug
me, sometime after 
with the forest in ash flakes come 
breakneck from the sun, searches

in vain for indigo address marks on a wine 
glass. its a short hop from wings 
to being naked in a bathtub 
with a candlelit syringe.
