starlight


tear in 
     skies and 
     hands, off
old posters on the wall,
sun-worn lines in bleach-stained
names, songs of
         chewing marbles
stacking bins, quick
         silver 
clicks and locks it up, 
and for a moment
i step out, i catch 
                    a breeze 
and float adrift,
a rocking to and fro    your heart
i always angle towards,
first and last upon the shore
and 

    back.    i see the sky behind
my eyes,     again, rolling to 
and fro, 
         every moment 
soaking  in your glow


starlight skin i wish
          upon our arms are all
    there is, the world
          is  crossed and 
     grasping sand 
again; toss and turn,
    our smiles tasting salt,
             so spit it out!
