headphones and the submergence of nights tonal qaulities

twist the tight plastic cap

dig with my fingers for the slender pill

gently place it on my tongues flat

tip

and take a sip

of non name cola

tilt back my tangled hair head

swallow the bitter dry

hope

and wait

tonight the festival of music brings

me songs

chariot verses of weathered torso

mannerisms

pale cusps of womens sly glances

the dance of dawn

let the night live on

and where

in the thick rain

in forgotten years

you wound my heart with pain

saving

"I Love you"

"Let me be your girl"

let us slay the dragon of all doubts

jealousy

feed his heart to the fire of remembrance

we shall reunite our sad oaths

and cloak our age with innocence

…O…
