Let's Begin

In the hollows-
occupy sheer portraits of universe,
fresh and still.
will you be my coverlet enclaved?
we are all alone like heartbeats,
you know...
dying thankful and quick.
skyscrapers framed and worried.
turbulent headaches hurried.
Let's begin.
bare faced baptisms-
school of thought gived-in.
anomalous-
hail Mary attempts at linguistics...
blindly attending silent movies,
for the right degree...
and you.
give like the sun
and take, take.
triad foregoing
towing from ankles your fenced tempo
and small bones- missionless
definitions wake fingers
empty bedded burdens cry
roads forgiven,
roads forgotten, micronized.
tried kind lilac faced tones- bruise our time.
bid on nows distant and uncrowded
praise loaded tiptoed futured and flawed
and vow forever and never to pause.
