Crooked Love
Air hangs from his mouth and she locks it into place
Air hangs from his mouth and she locks it into place
the communion of onion and garlic wafting from inside
The highway stretched out ahead forever, flat and dark, like vhs tape.
A moth kept hitting glass. I watched it lose.
Bikes are time travelers, Magnanimous Pooh-Bahs
At home we heard the music, held the fabric of the madras
A moth kept hitting glass. I watched it lose.
I want to ask if he meant two nights ago, when he first brought it up after a long day at work
the crackling grey gloom
my father prays on a fraying mat
