i will die into the air one second at a time.


i want to take you to Anticipation, USA every night and wait awake
in soft strobe lights of
electronic candles taking waves breaks over top of us
giving me the neon belief i need
to see you and want to miss you for that flicker
and come back to me.
hotel dancefloor, we come with two magnetic airstrips.
we are always ready to take off with each other.


balcony suite,

i’m ready to be in the moment
but the fall is too far.

i’ll be vapor in the air before
you realize how everywhere i am.



when i am your thoughts and your eagerness
and you are my feelings and anxiety

i am the undertow of what’s next
you are the swell ready to crash


the crash is the hallelujah in the middle of your sentences
broken sentences
broken seconds
polished bone structure

Author's Note: if you fall asleep in the waves how strong is the wake
