| A when you say the word 'blind' you cover your eyes. hearts sigh, the world wimpers and the walls of the sky crumble towards the great abyss of the sea while you stand repeating blind, blind, blind. B if i were merely rain on the pavement outside this crowded college bar i would rain down upon you as your frustrated step emerged from the darkened haze of sweat, lipstick, and monitor feedback and slid into the cool downtown air. i would rain down upon the glisten on your brow and brush softly the cascade of hair from your face, as a sting ray over an outcrop of corral reef or a bullet from a handgun. C held in the curl of your arm in mine i dreamt a vast firmament of peace, heavy wayward sighs, and the politics of silence. a fiery fanfare of flight chuckling as it wraps itself around our combined warmth and is inhaled like atmosphere upon the wings of our breath. was Superman trying to save the world or just Lois Lane? is there even a difference? |
