Off away from the firepit
And the future
Off in another world
Fireflies flick through earthen scented blackness
Cicadas buzz
Crescendo
Raise me up out of myself, my house, my chaos
Toward a now I haven’t felt
A now that fills all the velvet places
With white enamel liberty
Ability to chase dark places
Play flashlight tag
chase each other through the night
Laughing and panting with the grasses in the fields and the stars in the sky
Lightning bug go-betweens wearing dark purple ties
The memory floods my mind with twinkling first stars
Liberates my orgasm from snares
Splashes of an entire paint can poured smooth
With deliberate action against the sky
Poured pain like silhouette
Off cliffs against darkening skies
Hair flowing freely underwater
Neck relaxed, head back
Smooth splashing melodies in the Straits of Anian
Poured set free like orgasms’ song released to the sky
A fabled sexual encounter
Liberated into the pages of the real world
Real cells
Real signals flashed across the mind
Lightning!
Blazing through grasses in the fields
And stars in the sky
Flicking lizards skittering across
Sounds bounced off
Off
OFF
The walls of caves cut into
The sides of jokes slaps
Slaps
S L A P S
Between legs sprawled wide across boulders
Holding down the earth
From joining the sky
The river whispered to it
As you paddled a slab of land along the river
Said… “I reflect the sky
Shining off blue eyes.
