Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and find that your ghost is keeping me company again. The ghost of your mouth and the ghost of cigarettes dying in an ash tray. And in that place where dreams are born I can’t help but think that maybe I made a mistake And things weren't so bad after all. But the ghost of your smile tells me that wishful thinking was never my strong suit, even if it was my favorite hobby.

We tried to make blackout poetry— I took your Bible and struck sharpie through everything That wasn’t the Song of Solomon. And you took my dictionary and struck sharpie through everything That wasn’t “atrophy” and “phobia” and “inferno”. In the end we both made mistakes Because I shouldn’t have blacked out Revelations And you shouldn’t have blacked out “resuscitate”.

you put me in dark places-- a state of being and a place of mind. where up is out and down is where we used to be when we thought this was how it worked.

You’ll file this under: things you wish you’d known before. The pattern of hands clasped around your wrists Fingernails on your waist and Tongues on your thighs. It’s the tragedy of your landscapes that make it beautiful, Because there’s nothing like a night sky that breathes when you breathe, even When you’ve forgotten the map of yourself and Can’t ignore the fact that you are made of One way streets.

I dreamed about your skin last night. You laid your cards on the table and asked me To choose the outcome of things that are already dead. When I woke up I realized choices are dictators in silk stockings With a corpse’s hands and a devil’s tongue. They’ll mark the road to perdition like it’s the highway to rapture And we’ll drive fast like there’s nowhere to be, yesterday’s exit number tattooed on our spines. And we’ll only be halfway gone When we realize home is just a place In our rearview mirror And hell is just a place to refill the tank.

Speak to me, lover— Tell me what secrets you learned when I rolled over last night and whispered into your neck and searched for your soul In the last place I found it.

You were divinity-blessed With a cold mouth And a colder heart. But you opened up to me And let me pour fire over your throat. ‘This is what it means to be alive’, You said, as steam rose from your pores and your body warmed like passion. ‘this is what it means to be owned’, you said, While you cradled my curves in your heat-stained hands And looked for what made me breathe.

I am a heathen who still finds comfort in the name of God whispered in the night when I think I’m asleep. I can taste the blasphemy on my fingers Even if it’s been hours since I touched your skin. hell is tattooed between my thighs In the spaces where you whispered mea culpa before showing me heaven’s back door and teaching me that sin is a pretty word for everything I’ve been trying to say.

I want you to touch me The way you hold your cigarettes— Tender and cupped Behind your palms. You showed me how to be a threat to myself Even though you had your eyes closed When I finally took off my skin, learned how to swallow feathers And taught myself to fly. Because nothing is more dangerous Than a comet without a parachute.

i finally got your attention when they found me eating fingernails for dinner with streaks of blood for dessert because the kitchen was out of starlight and gasoline.

We made the headlines of next week’s paper because somewhere in the back roads we took a wrong fork chosen from a cutlery drawer in the basement of someone else’s house, where none of us knew which cabinet held the mugs or which medicine cabinet hid the opiates for the lonely (it isn’t religion, It isn’t sex. it’s being able to lie awake at night and listen to yourself breathe and not want to drown your lungs in arsenic and lullabies).

In church we are taught That this is where the holy breathe And we learn to catalogue our sins In the order of which they came. It was where I learned That there are bricks where my heart should be And cobwebs hiding in my lungs and a hymn book is not an instruction manual.
