Supine

Supine —
And scrolled along the floor
A child's attempt at calligraphy
You are an art form
Beside yourself
And the space parallel
Suits you well

Brittle and jackknifed
All deepened corners reflect light
And the shadows left after
They want you
They want you
(Just like I do)

The edges are lucid
With graffiti thoughts
Hands against your swollen mouth
As if
Suffocation
Might entice you to stay
(Stay)
Because you can't get out

The seduction swells
And extends
And it knows just how to
Suck
You
In
Diaphanous,
Oh-what-a-trick
Loveward bound to the stars
Entranced by milky lights
&
Trembling Songs

But you won't stop shaking
No you won't stop shaking
In my arms

The emptying smile
Of one who was full
Can only maintain the mouth for so long
An inhalation of light —
The windows close
And the candles?
Are gone
