i spend my day spooning honey into your mouth

– inspired by fire exit by robert kelly

liminal cities are my lifeblood

the universe unravels at her feet

these fluorescent lights aren’t weak
and yet
i still cant shake the dream of sleep,
of something just outside my view.

Fall won’t ever fade
and Winter would become just a myth
we tell to our weary-eyed children
as they drift off to sleep
