[zachadullboy]

can we
hold hands and wander
to the edge of the river?

can we
each hold back and let our
eyes devour the other?

can we
create our own world
in which to exist?

can we
kiss until I taste blood?

can we
share secrets and
openly nurse wounds?

can we
listen to the street sweepers
from bed?

can we
bury our toes in the sand
and drop what's in our pockets
down the nearest cold stone well?

can we
recognize the
crudest ironies?

can we
laugh until our
sides bloom with wild Hysterias?

can we
drive until we're
drunk and lost and out of gas?

can we
mock together the
scared old men in power?

can we
make eye contact
across a crowded room?

can we
cavort with our shadows?

can we
play in the rain like
Mad Hatter children on
the Earth's birthday?

can we
raid the caravan
plodding toward Death?

can we
drink melancholy & tonic
and spit fire?

can we
string endless love
on a long garland
bound around and through ourselves?

if your eyes shine like mine,
sweet feline,
let us make it so.
