AT NIGHT WE FALL

Flashing lights

Children

Scream

The clown face

Still down

Waiting for

The next quarter

Shoved into

My mouth

I operate

Black joystick

Big hands

Attention

At command

Corners

Of your eyes

You stare

Autumn lips

Porcelain

Fruit bowl hips

Such a sucker for you

I may always be

Swallowed

Whole

In just a few days

Read those books

Dulled more hooks

Punched holes

In my boat

Chewed me out

Sat me down

Bled on my

Cock, my chest

Invested

My neck

Remembers the way

Your teeth

So clenched

& tight

Surrounded uterus

We fight

Back-board

Squeaks

As your hands

Reach for mine

Precious neckline

You’re teaching me

How you climb

Over these chairs

Stop playing games

Like children

Ran the room

Shooting aliens

Bazookas

Doom

Confetti

Littered room

Janitor busy

Pushing

A broom

After you have left

Us alone

Yet again

Telling me you want

To be just friends

While you roll

Me over

Softer hips

Melted slouch

Sneaking past

Your sleeping aunt

On the couch

Bicycle, the kitchen

Kick stand

Stalled

Turn right

Down the hall

Into your arms

At night we fall

Well my friends

Don’t keep finding

Their way

Back inside my head

Half naked

Backside in bed

You shoveled my hands

Down your panties

Motioning to the left

Head faced pillow

Like the sun

Rise & fall

Your lungs

So much beauty

Watching you climax

Inside of my hand

Like a baby bird

I hold you, dear

Can’t you feel

The way I touch

Your face

Squeezing gently

Your head

Holding in place

A loving aura

Protected flora

Killing time zones

& thought waves

When were in

Each others haze

Loves near a maze

You’re just as

Lost in time

As leap year

So sleep dear

Sublime

In real time

I treat you

Like the rare

Exotic bird

I thought you

Were to be

But, treat me like shit

Because you chose the sea

Salted next day words

Low flying

Wounded birds

The past, your present

I don’t know what kind

Of man you’re

Used to having around

The world, so many

Times, I found

With thousands

I have sinned

I’ve stung

Yet today

I row this boat

Gently cloaked

Calmed

Simmered sun

Leather wrapped rope

A pressed black coat

Against the full moon

A silver spoon

Eating gold love

Mind fullness

Laughter, kindness

Something to learn

With your hand

Over my mouth

You muffle

You see-

I’ve earned this duffle

Bag, full of scars

I just don’t need 

Any more bars

To hang myself from

& wonder

How long

I can hold my breathe

Waiting for you

To take responsibility

For your own actions

If it weren’t for

Pure satisfaction

It would have never

Had have happened

So take some time

Without me in line

Waiting for the next

Quarter to fall

Waiting

For the next sweet call

Or some

Regular

Irregular

Erratic change

Of your mind

I stand still

Feeling the same

Way I have

Since before

We even met

Intrigued

By your profile

Alone

Ready to bet

That this thing

Just might work

Out on its own

With coffee in hand

Delicately

Just before ten

I open the game

Zone in zen

Flashing lights

Children

Scream

The clown face

Still down

Letting you

Back in

Again

With your pocket

Full of quarters
