October 2nd, 2009
The boy fell apart
like a fountain, lips
soaking through
the carpet. I asked why
he kissed mirrors.
He clutched an answer tight,
knuckles juicing vowels.
Red rain spurted
from his ceiling
and I forgot
to switch on my ears.
The boy offered my face
incased in purple ice.
I drowned in someone’s sky.
