stay with me

fingers tangled in my tangles

in my heart stings


like the surf envelops the shore

unties the knot


the elevator in the fire

melted wax dripping like desire


nature is full of teeth

and the stones write this silence


the furnace of your chest

the lullaby of your skin


i migrate toward the fog

the blackness is murderous


tied down time with a rope

threw out the wrinkled map


faces in a parade

a thin tangled poison


your fingerprints

metallic rains tracing


sweet honeysuckle and red wine

your eyes in mine
