[ h i m ]
a canopy of tangerine ivyhang from the rusted bars from above the table
hanging pots of bougainvillea brush the floor
in a sweet october kiss
borders of pansy petals flutter like
butterflies in the breeze
rows of marigolds like balls
of bunched up silk and lace
shades of ripe honey and hay
the pond mirrors
the baby blue sky
its surface pellucid
willow tendrils fall into the water
like strands of apricot hair
tumbling into silvery depths of arcane enigma
my eyes wanderto the page in your sketchbook
my gaze falling off the edge of the paper
the same way alice
had jumped off of it
you draw and write and i watchwatching your eyes as they fall into a trance
watch the dark blue in them intensify
their color like a lullaby
your skin is pale
as if the wind blew their colors away
and i suddenly wonder what it would feel like
to touch your face
looking at you makes the numbness lift a littlei'm not as cold inside
for a split second
my lungs don't drown in the poison of the world
and oxygen fill my veins
and something feeble moves in my chest
and i wonder if it's the heartbeat i lost
