Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing when we were in high school. Let's drive around in a car and listen to all the important songs. The ones that say how we feel. The ones that only we, the lovers, can understand. Let's make out on the hood of that car, under the stars. Let's wish for this moment to last forever.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing when we were in college. Let's drive to the coast and read poems to each other. The ones that say how we feel. The ones that only we, the lovers, can understand. Let's lay in the sand, listening to the pounding surf, holding onto each other until the sun comes up. Let's wish that it never does.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing in our twenties. Let's fly to Paris or Thailand or Peru. Let's take pictures of each other in distant lands, pulling each other forward by our hands. Let's stay out all night in a strange city and dance and dance until we stumble back to our hostel in the morning. Let's get lost and take the wrong train together. Let's buy stupid little statues from strange cities. Let's wear sunglasses and kiss each other holding our cameras out and taking pictures of ourselves at the same time with one eye on you and your eye on me and we each have one eye turned towards the lens. Let's wish that the vacation never ends.

Let's fall in love. Let's do all the things we dreamt of doing in our thirties. Let's get a dog and a house and have kids. Let's stand before all of the people we know in really expensive clothes and tell them how much we love each other, and swear that we'll never let go.

Breathless

let's be breathless

 and die 

and let's let our lungs empty out

 so the slime 

from one side touches slime 

from the other. 

Let's let our bodies deflate

And lie 

And Let's let all the air out.

So that time 

From one side touches time 

From the other. 

Collapse your diaphragm.

 Let's, us, suffocate, 

Untitled

Horrible lantern heart.

 Darkness instead of light.

Good metal rusted 

pumping the smell of blood 

crumbling things 

never ending decay,

 only spreading, breeding, seeding. 

In the dark, 

in the wet hot dark. 

The breath of something 

coming. 

The breath of a jungle cat, 

the breath of fever 

madness, 

the breath of something wounded,

wheezing 

 Death, dying itself,

 but spreading

dying out, 

Blood letting
death leak out 

It hunts and stalks in the depths of the earth. 

Untitled

For a moment I saw infinity

In your eyes, it burned then

When I realized they,

Your eyes 

are the same color 

as the skies 

and the oceans 

and the earth 

and the stars 

and flowers and rivers and streams

I'm lost in them 

I'm lost in them 

I'm lost in them 

In those pools of forever. 

Forever in them. 

Lost forever. In them.

Gone forever. Gone. 

In them. Gone. 

Gone forever. Gone. 

Gone.
