pulling us back from dangerous inclination
I wail when I think about you
I howl throaty and blood coughing
scratch marks on lead glass and shattered lighthouse ideas
beams rocketing out my eyes like love lasers
incinerate everything in their golden way
Ursa major and I growl and spit berry juice at each other
we've caught salmon in the same river for years
our fishy leather paws reek with feeding
native to america, oh yes
but bright and brilliant in the sky
it is the only sea I sail on now
black Slovak waves rule the air
and no French is spoken at all
All Baltic and midnighty are our pajamas
sewn in feet and grown in toes
we will always crawl like a prowly cat
or an owly kid
That majestic goat will eat anything
even the tin on the back of our necks
the plate marked with a number
that means I will always and forever belong to you
I want to lick the salt of your back into a pillar
make sandcastles from the dust at the bottom of your mouth
do you hear the sound of rackety clankety heartbeats?
Mechanical is the tip of our robotic iceberg
destined to sink like every lovely hot treasure does
all arctic and full of myself
my oily fur will protect me from the absence of everything easy
I will glisten and night on
dayforwarding and a taste of the spiral
won't keep my loving arms from your hips.
