Controlled Burns: Poem 4

--

coming slowly into focus, oozing out of the bottom,

you are the flower boy leading the procession

funeral vs. wedding, gloves vs. hands.

heat pulses, bends us, letting blood thin like water.

i thought we were ready to relate.

*energy* Dig in *energy*

Lots here is imperfect

like breakfast @ 5.

Spreading into the rest of time

and failing to make a sound.

Taking flight was an unintended effect

but we like my height.
