Opal Aglow

Lift your eyelids
reveal the opals of your eyes
among the acacia trees
let me in to the hills
behind your teeth
and it keeps going upwards
lush are the woods
and the mountains are asking your eyes
to run far
into my marble quarry night
where rocks are veined and soft
and skin is pure as night
and it keeps going upwards
■
boy
I feel so honored
I have seen you sleep
at night you seem so open
if only I could lift your heavy lids
the shampoo bottle label
is so dramatic
I could crumble
childhood water
give me the after shower power
golden globes
the solace of your leaves
nature’s power’s so overt
I want your fingers on my lips
I want eyes on my hips
I want to stroke your bowl cut hair
I want your fingers everywhere
future is a tower
I'm looking at the flickering women
I walk among the flowers
but your rose
it is the lushest
the tragedy unfolded so dramatically
my heart it still stumbles
my mind is all aglow
my mind is all aglow
darling
won’t you remove your breast plate
I feel frayed and I feel torn
mother of pearl
I’m in a porous state
in the dark his eyes are my flambeau
he’s my guiding light to follow
everywhere I go
boy, I feel so honored
I have heard you whisper in my ear
but now that I made you disappear
I fear I’m going to wither
for your blood and shadows
my mind is all aglow
we stretched summer in Rome
resting our eyes on the domes
a whole body on five toes
kiss beneath the pines
marble boy, be mine
house plants

still you exist
in the movements of my body
and your sweater on a hanger
is like a ghost on the wall
I remember
there was a ferry
and an island
we were getting nearer
to the island
now in my dreams
I protect myself from you
in evacuation shelters
the radio
the oranges
I’d rather be a baby
than a sitter
I want to be held
in your arms
cover me
in your mind’s broken laces
we stretch summer in Rome
resting our eyes on the domes
a whole body on five toes
■
your password
is outside
my password
is the one for you
the book that we read aloud
was stolen in the alley
cotton pillow
soft against your skin
cotton pillow
very softly
my seashell baby

Armor Girls

darling, you
you should be the one
to hold my head up high
but your armor
your leaden armor
hangs so heavy on your shoulders
sometimes
you confuse me with a soldier
but I’m your lover
I have told you
when I come near you
I do it to remove
the splinters from your wounded chest
you and me
me and you
my hands are soaked in glue
but you have got scissor hands
my heart is tied
with rubber bands
■
I run away from home
because you make me feel
like a bad copy
of all the girls you’ve ever known
all the girls you’ve ever known
leave me to my nursery room
I’m only a girl
I’m too fragile
to survive your pearl bullets
I better wear a flack jacket
under my skin
build up a protection wall within
why should I stay
when I already know the end of the road?
well, it depends
so give me a reason
to pull down my fences again

Rome
03:26
|

|
I share a glass of water
with my house plants
we’re keeping each other alive
I can’t believe it is the same moon
I didn’t really think we’d have to strive
I didn’t realize I was in danger
but you turned out to be a stranger
I didn’t realize I was in danger
but you turned out to be a stranger
we stretch summer in Rome
resting our eyes on the domes
a whole body on five toes

my trees
can’t hold on
to their leaves
anymore
my branches
are bristling
in all directions
my trees
can’t hold on
to their leaves
anymore
my branches
are bristling in all
lift your eyelids
reveal the opals of your eyes
cover me in your mind's broken laces
cover me in your mind
cover me
