torchlight, burning through your half-lit iris

Folder: 
Bad poetry

your beauty is a body of words
those that are lit most brightly: Limerance, Nihilarian.
Methylone, gallivant,
Godspeed.

and what if I wrote about that tiny porch
still sitting in Texas
painted onto the Earth? At least, I hope it's there just
as you remember boeotian and stentorian, not having yet blown away
like places have before.

My fingertips have only tasted briefly
your perambulations
your skirt a button blue
whatever buttons have to do with us, any
way. Tummy like an iridescent pearl tucked
inside of a clamshell. You are an unlit bulb in an attic
eyes filled with old things
trying to lure me out of
this grand solipsism.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

All of those awaiting my input on things: Sorry, I am being selfish but WILL get to you! I am active duty right now so things get very hectic so bear with me!
