If you show me Heaven, I will meet you there. -Blaqk Audio, "Stiff Kittens"

If
Distant sunrise,
You burn the hull
As white sails battle the horizon.
Dripping-amber perfect
Weighed down by blue you wait.

You
Can't unclench childish fingers
From damp wrinkled so-soft shirt.
I would wrap you in fog and breathe it in.
I would sink my teeth into your scalp
And dig thumbs into glinting eyes.

Show
bam-bam-bam
elevate me
bam blinding bam
did you see i saw
Do you understand?

Me
Lollipop-licking fairground girl
Filthy fingers, a fruitbasket of a place
How can the tigers scare me
When I have cotton candy,

Become a hummingbird,

I am looking for flowers.

Let's erase the monolith,
Tumble it down into blocks like river-stones.
Let's empty the pool
And make a stream.
Let's go swimming.

Will
Purple swirling past-perfect,
She thinks in video, and the screen keeps expanding.
The chattering voices and spit-shine mouths
Always out of sync.
When it happens, we will say it right.

Meet
Locked click our hands clasped
Did he just look at me as if he loved me?
Click, click, I can't let go.
From fourth to fifty-seventh street I loved you,
Sixty-two you took my hand.

You
And press my tongue across your lips
And hold your breastbone in the palm of my hand.
Hold me like an infant
Safe, safe, safe in the cushioned circle of your arms.
Damp cotton like shed feathers in my fists.

There.
Welcome to the place
Where the sun is beneath your toes,
To the place where you swim in seas of stars,
To the place where everyone sings lullabies,
To the couch at the end of the dead-end street.
