Description
i wanted a proposal on an airplane
yesterday, that was a good day;

with your stomach making a sound like
a tinny orchestra i wasn't so afraid of
demyelination.

you told me, let's stop fighting
all the rainbows are yours

but they were hidden under your nails.

-

last week we watched a movie about numinous storks— a girl and her legs
in tandem, the way they moved

like dry cells of the sun. eyes,
red and dreamy between the

spaces of the sloughed long year

which have watched the heterochromic you
ever since she was told

"beautiful, you make the sun come down"
and the heat gave her a dry mouth
and the rain that fell was a scalding;
left us as pink as angels.

i said, sing me something: each note was long as a holiday week.
i drank that song. down like
eggnog, until

the nostalgia was so thick
i thought my old-fashioned phone
could not deny it enough
