My World

Every ceiling crack
An atlas of sky

Every black silk sheet
A lover’s abyss

Every high speed fan
A fresh guillotine

Every carpet floor
A forest of memory

Every midnight
Black magic

Every window rattle
An air raid siren

Every strand of hair
A rope to morning

Every cup of tea
Our history made liquid

Every small embrace
A life jacket

Every breath I take
A secret invitation

Every used condom
A sad time capsule

Every dawn
Eyes sewn to the curtain
