“A Walk Home”
She smelled of sweat and vodka
Perfume and piss
She was a beautiful kind of wreck
The kind that makes you swerve
While you twist to look
Too see what comes of it all
She stumbled every step
As I walked her home
And slurred her invitation
But I whispered
“Next time. Next Time.
Ask me when you’re sober”
She leaned on me
Breathing hot on my chest
And told me she would not
“Well, that’s my loss. I guess.”
She let me know
With a shove and diesel breath
That it was

And I turn up the treble

My heart broke
Just another crack or two
But I love them
And they fit
That’s worth a fracture
In a place
Long falling apart
Oh, I’m bitter behind my lips
But the sweetness of them
Makes me smile
There is pain in beauty
Joy in letting go

I have a crush
but you can’t have it
it’s mine
Stop trying to take it
My crush crashes
My crush smashes
My crush is the fucking Hulk
My crush is the
ever lovin’ blue eyed Thing
My crush is Superman
fighting Doomsday
It’s my crush
and it’s a giant robot
here to kick ass
and forget names
If you fuck with my crush
it’ll step on you
Crushed by my crush
you’ll slink away
like an accordion Coyote
Wile E. that is
You don’t have anything
like my crush
So crumple and fall
and roll away
My crush is my crush
you can’t have it
it’s mine
stop trying to take it.

In that deep shadow
Between the covers
And the soft curve
of your hip
My desire lingers
Sweetly dreaming
Of the kisses I’ve left
Cooling on your thighs
Of flowers of feather
Tracing down your back
Of my hands traversing
Holding, knowing!
Ah
Let me pull you close
Again
Let me break your shadows
Cover you in light
Let the only deep and dark
Be in that space
Between us
And let that space
Be but shadow thin
Let there be only
you, me, the light outside
And the dark between us

I’m shy
and I’m quiet
and I don’t blink enough
and I’ll tear you apart
with my eyes
I’ll open you up
and look inside
I’ll weigh and measure
and try to understand
and it’ll hurt
and I’ll count
the tones of your screams
but don’t worry
I’m not forever
