Red dress.

Cool. Walnut

air. As always

we’re ships in a bottle

cutting bare

foot through a memory.

A crazy woman dances

alone.  Talking 

to a hologram.

Listerine mouth. Listening mouth.

Do I have your attention now?

your voice

leaves little moons

in every vowel. matchsticks and glances.

we’re tripping over cobblestones 

it’s the dream

with the milk carton city —

windows

alive as lovers

your breath must be

walnut breath. Hours pitter

patter on a roof

that keeps your head dry, my 

fish in a bottle.

whack a few more words around.

spread 

blobs of love like pancakes and wait

for one to bubble.
