I brought you over
your favorite book
while you sat in your garden
in the summer.
My sleeves are not pulled up enough
and I find myself
tying my shoes to your ankles.
As the trees brush up against
the backside of your arm
I got to run and bring in
my own holiday.
The light and drink that cups your hand
are playing with the piano sound.
This angel is facing falter
and he could barely talk to me in a whisper.
Like the television whose gospel
are only gestures of holy come ons.
The qualm in the foxglove
is a design of risky happiness and seduction.
The pedal of rocks that line the yard
make a steady coastline and barricade
whose angry waves of leaves have fallen.
The undulating charm of it all
rests on the hand that stroked the back
of a woman who began crying.
Stay near me.
I got to bring the water.
The air is bored and swollen
and the killing that has called upon me
tonight
is the blue midnight reflection
that cast a still shadow by the pool.
We call all darlings that could dance
on any given holiday.
Because there is this war
Two arms full and heavy
and calling on me.
We can not accept time
without each other.
Stay near me.
Bring the water.
