Description
as i step off the metro into moon-drenched black
the night opens its wings, blown black
volcanic ash
velvet my eyes, cut glass
skies, and the teeth
in my mind become stars, an opposite
of lack

whole body heartbeat
clear as an anger without any red
my breath falls in pearls
black ice opals, an ocean underfoot
that carries me forward,
self pushing on skin with no need to split
and i don't

know if it's swing or a springback
the opposite of absence pushing
outward the flatness
my self as a presence
tonight not a burning
tonight not the walls whitened
into blisters, but cool air
touching, my skin, now

my mouth full of air, and the moon
in black branches, the spring
-lengthened days, and i am

the opposite of lack
