i think of her nape. the floating upsidedown stalactite gardens. southern baptist soul claps. sweat on stage. blood smeared knees and elbows. macabre licks of savagery. porn star glances in mirrors. emotional prostitute archetypes. her eyes; orbs reaching rear cranium in darkness planted. soft environments dismantling themselves wet. two act forevers with intermissions of eternal shakespeare dreamscapes. sea mist like snorted coke; neruda's nose. body parts' wicked sudden congress. shattered utterances. second trimester pregnant pause surprises! foot arch clenching. thigh shuddering. safe nether havens of warm spring soda smells. realizing smiles. sticky oozing primordial goo prancing. sharks masticating. no bathrooms. lost slow wander tread steps. plenty alleys. grey ash smudgings. tabernacle stucco cracking crusted. fellaheen watch fiending. pumpkin pie window stealing. canine meat punctures. pomegranate hell juices. al green humming. elvis croaking empty husks. weekend sand in tuesday shoes. flowing. blowing. tongues enslaved by bemused brains with whips. eye-stinging flight. volleyballs in parks with two trees netted. squeezed rubbing. make-up melting. black vise comforts. ungh with dragging h's. hot pen and liquid white mind ink spewed. severed twigs trynna grow. laughing in sheets. flashlit forts. juggernaut stomp thoughts. master saboteur wrenches and cat paws tinkering. rose thorn holed tee shirts. wolves surrounded. circles closing. bending low, looking up. umpires calling heaven safe. no fouls. all balls. buzzing pulsating circuitry. snow white camels dying dry. seven year olds multiplying twelve times seven. distant voices on faraway phones screaming HELLO?. flies on speed. honor defending brawls. accidental turned lengthy kissing matches. homes with no vacant seats sighing. a late parcel, wrong address. arm wrestling knuckle slamming victories. in and out shakes winking. titan giants laying down adults like babies. lip salutes. hungry burger stink. wines blushing @ silly compliments. happy drug celebratory back slaps. oily revolutions. profound seas parting. smooth oval stones surfing still streams. something or other sutra poetry. french pastries' surrender. rewind play pause slow again. accolades and champagne skipping arm in arm. frog leaping off bicycles, shoulders, ledges, ladders, cliffs, comets, banisters, A PAGE. serenely falling confident. your arms.
(for i remembered that molli was impressed by this and i miss her)
