stars of dust

November 20, 2009 12:00AM

sucking down the cherry
dust of stars
all bathed in bubbled phosphor
silk
leering thin against
glass pandemic with desire,
unstrung.

drought peels away the layers,
blue of tooth and
a-minor-keyed….
kissing floorboards on a
friday night.

wanting to want things,
a dream eats us.
