The spaceship points toward the stars—
allowing the yellow rays of light to welcome
friends of the vast black space.

It was a dream in which people could see the future
and were happy knowing what was in store,
good weather, hard times, beautiful lovers, all life
to come —-

Stand and hold your breath for me
I’ve asked and you have done it
No favor has this earnest game
No greater will before you
Only I will say your name
and hold you in your glory

It is raining.
The sink is full of dirty dishes but I’m cooking anyway
a blue colander balances on chipped teacups.
I am singing
a song we used to know

I join my father in the dining room.
I look around at the other residents who
are bobbing their heads up and down up and down,
gently nickering into their Jell-O

They burned silently and quickly
at the base of my friends’ houses,
quietly licking at foundations.

I rise with the ghouls.
It is a time when The Dark is at her
Oldest and her shadows are at their youngest.

You don’t want this

This is the opposite of a love story
There will be no redemption here

Rampant ramblings
subtly stumble,
persistently pouring out
through lying lips.

perhaps it’s time to slam phones off hooks,
a ringer for a dime
