metallic blues






sometimes when contemplating the theatre
i remember, always as the observer
watching you kissed on stage
it’s just a play
and yet
the silver spandex
wet, sparkling eyes
those metallic blues &
the kiss was, always someone else
i watched your heart beat through your breasts
in front of a spaceship
or some shit
some hero at your lips.
this mirror, bent on my head
and still
tableaus i can’t
pick myself up from
dusty seats, this hinge will
rust at 90 degrees
a standing invitation
i’ve got season’s rickets
to your play
santé
i’ll sit
and still
drinking in the third row from the back.
