one

the blessing of a generous mouth
the union of flesh without a well-versed conversation
the reckless promise of wasted kisses
and rush of amazement
every variation of lust,
a solo above the choir
deafening
unspoken
color radiating from a stained glass lamp,
the complex interplay
stroking my hunger for it
ruthless and coaxing
a one hundred ninety-seven dollar
total disregard for all of my empty feelings,
a servant emancipated
beholden 2 no one
the unraveling, the
fraying sense of mortality
of searching for this grand currency
of nothing, of eternity much ado
and eye don’t feel it,
eye don’t need for the awkwardness
of love when eye have you

  1. wow… beautiful. i love this
    weird but true: i had a bizarre inclination to listen to the song ‘one’, and during the beginning seconds, i started reading your blog and saw your blog title… the world is a funny place.

  2. mmmm. its also a small place….

    sunday was one of those days. eye was a little below the water line and used a bottle of opus one as a flotation device (the scotch didnt work). eye got stuck on the word and put three dog night and u2 on repeat.
    just those 2 songs.
    for about an hour and a half.
    and eye plan 2 make a public service announcement against anyone else trying it.

    right before eye jumped off the roof…eye wrote that. ha! :D
