In the gloaming, in the roiling night
The hurt returns as it always intended—it is tender
as the inside of my thighs, it is as blue, too. O windless,
wingless sky, show me your empire of loneliness,
let me spring from the jaws of what tried to kill me.
Let me look at your face and see a heaven worth having, all
your sorry angels falling off a piano bench, laughing.
Do you burn because you remember darkness? Outside
the joy is clamoring. It is almost like the worst day of your life
is ordinary for everyone else.
